Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Quatech DSCLP-100. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Quatech DSCLP-100 ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Quatech DSCLP-100 décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Quatech DSCLP-100 devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Quatech DSCLP-100
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Quatech DSCLP-100
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Quatech DSCLP-100
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Quatech DSCLP-100 ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Quatech DSCLP-100 et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Quatech en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Quatech DSCLP-100, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Quatech DSCLP-100, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Quatech DSCLP-100. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

    1 General Information The Quatech, Inc. DSCLP-100 (two-port) and SSCLP-100 (one-port) provides upto two RS-232 asynchronous serial communication interfaces for Low Profile I BM-compatible personal computer systems using the PCI expansion bus . The DSCLP-100 uses Quatech's new Enhanced Serial Adapter design. Legacy serial port data rates are li[...]

  • Page 7

    2 Hardware Configuration The DSCLP-100 is automatically configured at boot time by the computer's BIOS or operating system. There are no required switches or jumpers to set for installation. This chapter lists a number of optional jumper settings that control various hardware features. Jumpers J 2, J 4 -J 5 are grouped together at the end of t[...]

  • Page 8

    These jumpers force an increase of the UART input clock frequency by a factor of two or four. This feature can allow legacy software to use baud rates above 115,200 bits per second. It is also useful if the serial port device driver does not directly support setting the higher baud rates through the Options Register (see page 0 ). If one of these j[...]

    3 Hardware Installation 1. Turn off the power of the computer system in which the DSCLP-100 is to be installed. 2. Remove the system cover according to the instructions provided by the computer manufacturer. 3. Make any desired optional jumper setting changes. 4. Install the DSCLP-100 in any empty PCI expansion slot. The board should be secured by [...]

    4 Address Map and Special Registers This chapter explains how the two UARTs and special registers are addressed, as well as the layout of those registers. This material will be of interest to programmers writing driver software for the DSCLP-100. 4 . 1 Base Address and Interrupt Level (IRQ ) The base address and IRQ used by the DSCLP-100 are determ[...]

  • Page 12

    4 . 2 Enabling the Special Registers The DSCLP-100 contains two unique registers, an Interrupt Status Register and an Options Register. These registers are enabled when the SPAD jumper (J6) is removed (factory default). They replace the UART Scratchpad Register on accesses to register address 7. The Interrupt Status Register and Options Register ar[...]

  • Page 13

    4 . 4 Options Register The Options Register allows software to identify the DSCLP-100 as a Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapter. It also allows software to set the UART clock rate multiplier. Figure 8 shows the structure of the Options Register. The powerup default of the Options Register is all bits zero. Clock rate multiplier bit 0 RR0 0 Clock rate mu[...]

    4 . 4 . 2 Clock Rate Multiplier A standard RS-232 serial port operates at a clock speed of 1.8432 MHz. In order to achieve higher data rates, Quatech Enhanced Serial Adapters can operate at two times, four times or even eight times this standard clock speed. This is controlled by the clock rate multiplier bits in the Options Register. Software can [...]
