To display a context sensitive help for each device driver, the help system uses a separate file for each each device type, containing some information how to use and to configure the driver/device. This help topic is called if you click to the help button in a device's window.
Device driver help files use a slightly different format than the main help file does. The difference is, the a device driver help file must not contain topic definitions. One topic definition for each file is generated automatically when the help system is built.
Device driver help files are located in the help directory of the sat-nms software installation. The files are named like the drivers itself, but with the extension .hlp . The help compiler creates dummy files for missing device driver files.
The help files for the device drivers supplied by SatService all follow a common format. They first explain for which type of equipment this driver was designed for. The the button bar of the device window is described in a table. Below this the configuration/setup parameters for this device driver are explained, some device specific remarks may follow. You are encouraged to use this scheme for your customer supplied device drivers. too.
