This section brings together TECER’s technical knowledge for people who want to understand the technologies tested, repeat a procedure or look up an exact piece of data. The project diaries tell what happened and what we learned; the documentation keeps what other organizations need to reproduce or adapt the work.
The documentation follows the Diátaxis model, which organizes texts according to the needs of the person consulting them. Technical terms are explained in the glossary.
How to navigate
Explanations
Explanations answer the question “why”: how a technology works, why the project made certain choices and what the tests revealed. They are the best starting point for people coming from a project diary.
How-to guides
How-to guides describe specific tasks, step by step, for people who already know the basics and need to do something concrete, such as setting up a test bench or measuring the loss of a cable.
Reference
The Reference section presents, in plain language, each piece of equipment and software used: what it is, how it appeared in the project and where to find the manufacturer’s documentation.
Tutorials
Tutorials, which teach a technology from scratch through practice, are in preparation.
Where to start
- To understand a technology: start with the Explanations.
- To carry out a task: go to the How-to guides.
- To look up technical data: use the Reference section.
