Documentation and user guide
Re: Documentation and user guide
Well, my picture is still not the good one , it may be for another time ....
Re: Documentation and user guide
Hmm. Just to be sure can you email the latest to me at qsl@n2rac.com? I got the one you linked here. But I may have missed something during upload to the repository r during pull request.
Re: Documentation and user guide
Angelo-
let me know if you want me to put in a Table of Contents. I've got a package in Atom that can generate one. I can also insert the proper diagram from F1CXG. But I'm not sure if you're doing that now so let me know.

Re: Documentation and user guide
I also have Atom, but still trying to learn. I have work to do tonight, so please do feel free to do the PDF and other fixes. I notice there are some ToC items that are not properly pointing (perhaps wrong/misplaced references?).
Thanks, Bud!
Re: Documentation and user guide
Another next step here would be to convert all the screen images into screenshots from CPS, if that's viable. Would take time, though.
Re: Documentation and user guide
I did think about possibly adding some system to send commands to the radio, to change menu and to simulate the buttons being pressed, so that it would be possible to automate this process, but I think it would take much longer to create the system to do this, than it would to manually set each menu and do the screengrab.
Perhaps if I created an auto generated name, based on the time, it would save initially having to name then image files but at some point they would need to be renamed.
BTW. The screengrab is copied to the clipboard prior to the save dialog being shown, and stays on the clipboard even if the image is not saved to disk

Re: Documentation and user guide
Thanks for this, Roger. Perhaps doing screenshots one at a time for now would suffice, if building a system takes significantly longer than doing it manually.VK3KYY wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 5:58 amI did think about possibly adding some system to send commands to the radio, to change menu and to simulate the buttons being pressed, so that it would be possible to automate this process, but I think it would take much longer to create the system to do this, than it would to manually set each menu and do the screengrab.

The screens would change to mine, though -- perhaps I should rename some zones, channels, and TalkGroups to reflect something more apt for our project, when taking screenshots, HIHI.
Re: Documentation and user guide
Thanks for continuing to work on this Angelo! I've been swamped with work the past few days. But let me know if there is something specific I can do to help with the User Guide or screenshots project.
Re: Documentation and user guide
Thanks, Bud. Might be a busy weekend ahead. I guess it's just the screenshots that I need help with -- or a quick way to grab screenshots without having to manually do everything.
Re: Documentation and user guide
OK so let's have a plan for the screenshots. Do we want to capture new screengrabs via the CPS to replace every screenshot in the User Guide now? I think so. The big question is one you already alluded to: is it OK if those are local to the person making the screengrabs (e.g., different ID, repeaters, etc) and therefore we edit the text around the image? If we decide yes, I can start on the systematic process of making all new grabs and inserting them into the guide, etc.
