TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
IMNHO, readability is enhanced by using TLAs -or any acronym(s)- whenever
possible.
FWIW, I use TLAs from SMEs to write EUDs, SOPs, RFPs and GUI docs - using
Win NT on an IBM PC, with 800 MHz CPU, CDRW, 19' VGA CRT, and 256 MB RAM.
DBY, the CSR from CIS installed a CDRW without configuring my BIOS. I had to
"DIY". FYI, a missing DLL caused a GPF in Win and my PC BSODed.
For instance: "Currently, our FM RF WAN uses a 9QPR to send CCSK packets to
a UNIX box running ODBMS at the NOC to CAC PSR data. The BPR is a function
of the BER, caused by CNR, SNR, and RFI. Using the RLT, PERT, and RSSI
indicators, a tech diagnoses MCCs, RTUs, CMs, and GMMs to determine
interference levels. Based on this PSR data, SNR is increased by using a
CBC, RAU, or filter to decrease noise dBm to the appropriate SNR level."
IMHO, TLA's also add EOU to HTML created with FP, DW or FM. I always convert
my JPG, TIFF, BMP, and WMF files to GIF. AVIs and MPEGs I convert to SWFs.
Fortunately, I don't need ASP, JSP, Perl or GI to publish. I'm on the LAN
using a 100 Mbps NIC, so I FTP my WWW page to our RFS ASAP, and I'm GTG.
We're on PST not GMT here at SLB in CA, so I'll sign off.
