Software Manuals and Guides

	VI Logger User Guide (view PDF) As a technical writer at National Instruments, I documented LabVIEW toolkits and related software. This printed guide assisted users in getting started with VI Logger, a datalogging application to use with data acquisition hardware.
	LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office User Guide (view PDF) This printed guide assisted users in getting started with the Report Generation Toolkit. The toolkit added Microsoft Office functionality to LabVIEW report generation utilities.

I performed the following tasks for these publications:

• Worked with software engineers in Austin and other cities/countries to develop and edit content.
• Used alpha and beta versions of the software to create and test procedures.
• Took screenshots of software and edited for publication quality.
• Consulted departmental and company style guides to ensure a consistent documentation style.
• Edited text and created graphics to be localized easily into French, German, and Japanese editions.
• Incorporated edits from software engineers, marketing managers, and LabVIEW documentation leads.
• Used hidden Framemaker tags to single-source content used in both user guides and help files.
