A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Vista LM104-P50, 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 Vista LM104-P50 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 Vista LM104-P50. 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 Vista LM104-P50 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Vista LM104-P50
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Vista LM104-P50 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Vista LM104-P50 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 Vista LM104-P50 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 Vista LM104-P50, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Vista 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 Vista LM104-P50.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Vista LM104-P50 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.

    1 Product Overview The Vista Electronics LM104-P50 module provides connectivity between PC/104-based sy stems and the Echelon Local Operating Network (L ON). The module features full compliance with Echelon’s L onMark Inte roperability Guidelines, grea tly simplifying hardware a nd software integration into sy stems built around LonWorks. The MS-[...]

    2 Module Setup IMPORTANT NOTE! The LM104-P50 module gets all of its electrical power through the PC/104 bus connector. The module requires +5Vdc, ±10% at 420mA. Because it was designed specifically f or the PC/104 bus, the m odule does not support any exte rnal power supply, nor is it designed to run at any other supply voltage. Operating an LM104[...]

    3 Jumper Settings There are five jumper locat ions, which vary slig htly depending on which network interface option is selected. Their functions are as fol lows: JP1 SERVICE Momentarily shorting this jumper causes the Neuron c hip to broadcast its Neur on I D across the network. This jumper should normally be left open. Defaul t: OPEN JP2 RESET Mo[...]

    5 Softw are Driver Installation The LM104-P50 module includes two MS-DOS software drivers: one that is interrupt driven ( LM104INT.SYS ) and one that use s polling ( LM104POL.SYS ). The inte rrupt driver is used in most cases. First, copy the files on the distribution diskette to a drive and directory on the host sy stem. For the inter rupt driver,[...]

    6 For example, adding the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:LONLM104INT.SYS /D1 /P1 /Q5 installs the interrupt-driven driver using base I /O address &h1E0 and IRQ5. Adding the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:LONLM104POL.SYS /D1 /P3 installs the polling driver at I /O address &h310. The polling driver does n[...]

As such, the PL T-22 transceiver and the power line coupler handle any termination issues. Any standard 50 W BNC cable may be used to connect the L M105-P50 to its line coupler. Because the transmiss[...]
