Vi+ Help

Vi+ online Help is a powerful search tool. It combines the

following documents and much more in one place:

• Complete Vi+ manual set

• Processor hardware manuals and hardware tools manuals

• Over 200 hundred technical articles (EE-Notes)

The Help system is integrated into Vi+’s graphical user interface
and also provides context information (for debugging windows, tools, and
dialog boxes). Each task is described in clear step-by-step detail.

Best of all, Vi+ Help provides a single access point to just about
every processor hardware and tools document produced by Analog
Devices.

The search engine in Help enables you to find information quickly from a
two-foot deep stack of printed manuals, spanning over 10,000 pages.

Vi+ Help, built around the familiar Microsoft HTML Help
standard, enables you to:

• Copy code examples from Help into your source documents

• Bookmark and print topics

• Perform a full text search, or refine a search with wildcards, nested

expressions, or Boolean operators

The Collaborative

The Collaborative is a network of processor/DSP third-party developers
for Analog Devices. The Collaborative consists of companies all over the
world that provide hardware products, software products, algorithms, and
design services for a wide variety of applications and markets. Our
