Documenting the Spirit

Documenting-in-the-large vs. Documenting-in-the-smally

There is a signiicant diierence between documenting large programs and documenting small ones. By large programs we mean on the order of 1,000,000 lines, usually written by many diierent people over a long period of time. Most software documentation may be termed documenting-in-the-small, since it typically describes the program at the algorithm and data structure level. To understand large leg...

Documenting the Plant Interface

Simulink models are created to represent the control application as well as the plant being controlled. These models may represent a single control application, e.g., an electronic throttle control, or a collection of control applications that may interact with each other, e.g., cruise control and braking system. Each control application and controlled plant element may be modeled in more than ...
