Creation of user manuals for hardware and devices with Dr.Explain

A quickshifter on a motorcycle enables the rider to very rapidly shift without closing the throttle or disengaging the clutch. It works by killing the ignition for a short period of time in order to relieve stress on the gearbox, thus allowing the pressure on the gear lever to smoothly slip the transmission into the next gear.
The result of many years of development at world renowned HM Quickshifter labs. The HM Quickshifter GP is the quickshifter for racing teams and individual riders who want (and/or need) to squeeze the bleeding edge of power and efficiency out of their motorcycles.
The HM Quickshifter GP Configuration Tool is the mating software that runs on a Windows PC or laptop and is used to set up and tune the HM Quickshifter GP, as well as read its event log and update its firmware.

Building the HM Quickshifter GP’s help file, printable User’s Guide, and on-line User’s Guide (CHM, PDF, and HTML respectively) with Dr.Explain was a pleasure. It is easy to tell that the producers of Dr.Explain either regularly make help files themselves, and/or they listen very well to their customers and add requested features that are real productivity assets. While Dr.Explain is a generic documentation tool, it has outstanding productivity boosters in the area of documenting Windows software applications. In terms of things that boosted my own productivity, I lost count. As a result of this plus the ability to get up to speed quickly (Dr.Explain has an excellent help file appropriately created with Dr.Explain itself), Dr.Explain is now my technical writing tool of choice.

Help file for Printer Squirrel

Printer Squirrel is an application that monitors print jobs being sent to printers, and sets charges for these jobs. Printer Squirrel records details such as the user who sent the job, job title, printing parameters and the number of pages printed for each print job, and then assigns a charge for the job. Users can be organised into functional groups and usage reports and charts can be produced for each group. Reports on printer usage can also be automatically emailed printed or saved to file.

We have found Drexplain to be an excellent product - help files are now (almost) fun rather than being a tedious chore. All stages of help file construction are smooth and intuitive and the resultant help files look great. The time savings gained over coventional help authoring systems is considerable.
