Abstract

The use of documentation in design automation is extensive. The "DADGUIDE" Documentation System at Texas Instruments' Design Automation Department accomplishes many documentation tasks by means of a set of procedures, local and central computers, word processing programs with macro capabilities, and physical text formatters. The documentation output is resident on a data set at the central computing facility. When users request documents through submission of batch jobs, they execute a document printing program which outputs user manuals at any terminal in line printer, microfiche, or LASER copy. Control over the style and content of such user documentation is achieved by restrictions on characters and symbols, macro commands which force numbered divisions and subdivisions, procedures for revision of documents, check programs verifying output of the DADGUIDE processors, and requirements for approval of the documentation. In these ways, the DADGUIDE system is automating the management of user documentation and helping to extend the use of computer-aided tools company-wide.
用户文档的设计自动化在TI
文档在设计自动化中的使用是广泛的。德州仪器设计自动化部门的“DADGUIDE”文档系统通过一组程序、本地和中央计算机、具有宏功能的文字处理程序和物理文本格式化器完成了许多文档任务。文档输出驻留在中央计算设施的数据集中。当用户通过提交批处理作业请求文档时,他们执行一个文档打印程序,该程序在任何终端上以行式打印机、缩微胶卷或激光复印机输出用户手册。对这种用户文档的风格和内容的控制是通过以下方式实现的:对字符和符号的限制、强制编号划分和细分的宏命令、文档修订的过程、验证DADGUIDE处理器输出的检查程序以及文档批准的要求。通过这些方式,DADGUIDE系统实现了用户文档管理的自动化,并有助于在全公司范围内扩展计算机辅助工具的使用。
