User manuals should be written by journalists!
As to Terry's remarks, I suppose they reflect some frustration regarding Help files and so called user manuals in general and not the wonderful initiative to integrate instrument control into PI.
I too share this frustration. In fact, user manuals are completely useless. Not just PI's but pretty much all of them. They are unquestionably great for those writing computer programs and they are probably written by them as well. But they do not tell us how to use the programs.
Instead of going through each and every option, from how to install and further on, a user's manual must describe what do do first. A newspaper has a headline, catching your attention, then a brief description of the event and then again, further down, more and more details. This is how a manual should be written.
As you now, Kayron Merciera (lightvortex) has written some very instructive workflow papers and it is only thanks to them that I manage to use PI at all.
I considered buying SkyX for integrated control but after having read their 600 pages manual (with the same stereotypic layout) I decided that this is not for me. I shall never succeed.
Please please don not make the same mistake as the others when writing a manual for this great new feature.
