Thesaurus?

Hi All,

I saw and trained on the ION on Wednesday and ran it on Thursday and Friday. It went alright enough, but not a fast as I could on the trusty expression. I think in time it will make programming even faster, just as soon as I get past the learning curve.

Is there a thesaurus to help us learn the new syntax? If not can we start one? For example...

expression:Release = EOS: Sneak enter

Thanks,

Jim

I have also asked for a thesaurus/glossary from day one - having the terminology change like this is tough on the learning curve. We can't look up how to do something if we don't know what it is *called*.
In the 10 months since we have had the ION, we are still finding things that we don't understand. Please make the glossary!

I think it's more up to users to help facilitate a glossary IMHO. There are many consoles that people are used to and I know that it seems that you would be coming from the stance of a previous ETC console, but the Eos is not a member of any family of previous ETC consoles, so things are going to be different than we're used to. Push all the buttons, use [Help], use [About], read the manual with the console sitting in front of you. I would rather the development team not divert time to a glossary when a manual already exists. Just a commentary.

I'd have to agree with mr jabadger. Previous to EOS / ION I'd never really used any ETC console, so different terminology was always going to be something i came up against. As jabadger stated - help key and the manual are pretty good. I'd say the eos manual is one of the better ones out there by far.
That said, a glossary with the most common items (ie sneak) wouldn't be a bad idea...

Hi all. We developed a glossary during the early days of Eos development. It's currently on my desktop - where I'm updating it and removing "engineering stuff." Will post here when that's done. It won't be exhaustive, but maybe it will be of help. Just so you know, we recently hired a training manager in the marketing department (to supplement the training effort that we already have in tech support), who will be looking to put together a variety of different educational tools.

Part 2 - please see attached. David L. will shortly be setting this up as a wiki, so that you all can add, comment, etc. But in the meantime, perhaps this will be of some use.
