Goals and Results
SICK wanted to create an online help for their localization software LiDAR-LOC. parson helped SICK to create the documentation. We also developed a topic-based information architecture for the online help.
Due to a tight timeframe, parson created the documentation directly in English instead of German, as originally planned. parson’s technical communicators worked remotely most of the time.
The documentation of controls commands is automatically created from the developer’s code comments. In the long run, SICK wants to integrate this documentation into the online help.
parson created a technical concept so that all information for operating the product – via web interface and control command – are available in one information product.
