Ion v2.7.2 Operations Manual is not available

From the 2.7.2 release note:

Documentation
• For Eos Ti®, Eos®, Gio®, Gio @ 5®, Ion Xe™, and Element 2™:
- Eos Family v2.7.2 Operations Manual Revision A
• For Ion®:
- Ion v2.7.2 Operations Manual Revision A

I can't find the Ion 2.7.2 manual. I've looked on the site and the most recent Ion manual available is 2.0.0.

Please upload one and provide a link.

    Are you asking for an current "Ion" manual as opposed to all EOS based systems manual?

    Yes.

    This has nothing to do with the Ion being "legacy" or ETC's not updating the manual between 2.0 and 2.7.

    As stated above, the software release note for Eos 2.7.2 says that the current documentation is Ion v2.7.2 Operations Manual Revision A.

    This file is not available via the link you provided.

    I'm not asking for anyone to provide a link to where the file would be if ETC had uploaded it. I'm asking for ETC to upload the file, then let us know.

  • Hi John,

    I think the point is there isn’t one. As far as I’m aware there hasn’t been a separate manual for Ion for quite a long time.

    Ion is an Eos-family console. This may be a mistake in the release notes.

    Cheers

    OK.

    So the problem is that it says the current documentation for Ion is "Ion v2.7.2..."

    The current documentation for Ion is actually "EOS Family v2.7.2".

    There is no such thing as Ion v2.7.2.

     

    I feel as if ETC may have jumped the gun in turning Ion into a Legacy product in some places, while it can still run the latest version of EOS.

    ETC should correct the Release Notes to state the Current Operations Manual for Ion is EOS Family v2.7.2.

    Ion is a legacy product. This has no bearing on whether it still functions or receives updates. Legacy simply means it is no longer manufactured and may have been superseded. In this case Ion Xe is the current product, just as Eos classic is considered Legacy.

    Unfortunately much of the market relates to Ion as a different thing, even though it is simply a console in the Eos-family just as Gio is.

    I only meant that the hardware is Legacy, but the software is not Legacy.

    That causes confusion.
