User’s Manual Introduction 1–3
1.4.2 Additional Reference Information
In addition to the product-specific information con-
tained in the RabbitCore RCM2200 Getting Started
Manual and the RabbitCore RCM2200 User’s
Manual (this manual), several higher level refer-
ence manuals are provided in HTML and PDF form
on the accompanying CD-ROM. Advanced users
will find these references valuable in developing
systems based on the RCM2200 modules:
• Dynamic C Premier User’s Manual
• Introduction to TCP/IP
• TCP/IP Function Reference
• Rabbit 2000 Microprocessor
User’s Manual
1.4.3 Using Online Documentation
We provide the bulk of our user and reference docu-
mentation in two electronic formats, HTML and
Adobe PDF. We do this for several reasons.
We believe that providing all users with our com-
plete library of product and reference manuals is a
useful convenience. However, printed manuals are
expensive to print, stock, and ship. Rather than
include and charge for manuals that every user may
not want, or provide only product-specific manuals,
we choose to provide our complete documentation
and reference library in electronic form with every
Development Kit and with our Dynamic C develop-
ment environment.
NOTE: The most current version of
Adobe Acrobat Reader can always
be downloaded from Adobe’s Web
site at http://www.adobe.com.
We recommend that you use ver-
sion 4.0 or later.
Providing this documentation in electronic form
saves an enormous amount of paper by not printing
copies of manuals that users don’t need. It reduces
the number of outdated manuals we have to discard
from stock as well, and it makes providing a com-
plete library of manuals an almost cost-free option.
For one-time or infrequent reference, electronic doc-
uments are more convenient than printed ones—
after all, they aren’t taking up shelf or desk space!
Finding Online Documents
The online documentation is installed along with
Dynamic C, and an icon for the documentation
menu is placed on the workstation’s desktop. Dou-
ble-click this icon to reach the menu. If the icon is
missing, use your browser to find and load
default.htm in the docs folder, found in the
Dynamic C installation folder.
The latest versions of all documents are always
available for free, unregistered download from our
Web sites as well.
Printing Electronic Manuals
We recognize that many users prefer printed manu-
als for some uses. Users can easily print all or parts
of those manuals provided in electronic form. The
following guidelines may be helpful:
• Print from the Adobe PDF versions of the
files, not the HTML versions.
• Print only the sections you will need to
refer to more than once.
• Print manuals overnight, when appropri-
ate, to keep from tying up shared resources
during the work day.
• If your printer supports duplex printing,
print pages double-sided to save paper and
increase convenience.
• If you do not have a suitable printer or do
not want to print the manual yourself, most
retail copy shops (e.g., Kinkos, Alpha-
Graphics, CopyMax) will print the manual
from the PDF file and bind it for a reason-
able charge—about what we would have to
charge for a printed and bound manual.
