Our experience includes all aspects of technical manual production for paper and electronic media up through and including on-equipment validation.
We are currently developing extensive Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) and training packages for the U.S. Government and our valued customers in the aerospace industry.
LSI uses Interleaf and Arbor Text software programs for publication development. We perform both Standardized General Mark Up Language (SGML) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) tagging for in-house development and outside agencies.
The IETM is a fully integrated dynamic web application made up of two main sections:
Both sections are tied together as a single cohesive web application, supporting multiple uses as a reference tool, step-by-step troubleshooting tool, and a fully interactive training tool. The IETM was designed to meet all of the necessary specifications of the AICC and SCORM compliancy directives. Its dynamic features allow for easy modification to meet any future changes in these standards as well.
The IETM was designed and developed utilizing the most current technology available for web applications today. The central repository is a relational SQL database, which runs under Microsoft’s SQL Server 2000. It was designed in a way which is easily modifiable and allows the ITEM to be utilized for practically any type of publication design from military to automobile maintenance manuals or even your company instruction manuals. The IETM was developed utilizing:
The use of these various technologies allows for the most robust and dynamic IETM web application possible.
