Documentation: Made in China

22nd of April, 2006

Globalisation is great. I think it’s awesome that the whole world is given the opportunity to compete for my business.

The trouble is that engineers write the documentation… or worse, the promotional material. :)

The RS485 has an outstanding characteristic of intelligent directing control which eliminates the extra control signal like RTS. With this feature you can develop your program as you are using a normal RS232 without special control routine. This is especially important in Windows programming switch do not allow the program to catch the control pin at your wish.

It’s bad enough when English-speaking engineers write docs, but does anyone at all expect the Chinese engie to communicate complex concepts simply, in English?

NOTE: If English document needs fashioned, may require experiencing linguist!
