Abstract
Every project depends on documentation. It is the lifeblood of development. You haven´t completed a project if the documentation isn´t done. Good documentation makes the instrument more accessible and useful, and it clarifies operation. It also affects the perceived value of the product; a good manual indicates a good product. Don´t overlook or downplay documentation, and don´t put it off. Just do it! Indeed, 50% to 75% of your time should be spent writing and recording design and development. Some tips are given for preparing good documentation
