A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of National Instruments LM1085 Series, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of National Instruments LM1085 Series one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of National Instruments LM1085 Series. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of National Instruments LM1085 Series should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of National Instruments LM1085 Series
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the National Instruments LM1085 Series item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the National Instruments LM1085 Series item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of National Instruments LM1085 Series alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of National Instruments LM1085 Series, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the National Instruments service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of National Instruments LM1085 Series.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the National Instruments LM1085 Series item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    Application Note GENERAL Figure 1 shows a basic functional diagram for the LM1085- Adj (excluding protection circuitry) . The topology is basically that of the LM317 except for the pass transistor . Instead of a Darlingtion NPN with its two diode voltage drop, the LM1085 uses a single NPN. This results in a lower dropout voltage. The structure of t[...]

    Application Note (Continued) Figure 3 shows a typical application using a fixed output regulator . Rt1 and Rt2 are the line resistances. V LOAD is less than the V OUT by the sum of the voltage drops along the line resistances. In this case, the load regulation seen at the R LOAD would be degraded from the data sheet specification. T o improve this,[...]

    Application Note (Continued) must be added, one for case to heat-sink ( θ CH ) and one for heatsink to ambient ( θ HA ). The junction temperature can be predicted as follows: T J =T A +P D ( θ JC + θ CH + θ HA )=T A +P D θ JA T J is junction temperature, T A is ambient temperature, and P D is the power consumption of the device.
