If it is not written down it does not exist?

    You will almost always run into "undocumented" items during engineering work.

    That is why I always used a notebook for everything, design notes, debugging notes and especially meeting notes.  Nothing beats a written comment when everyone else is running off faulty memories.  I have won a large number of arguments by pulling out my meeting notes and showing them what I documented during the meeting.  Beats a bad memory every time!

     

    When you come across something missing or wrong in documentation about a device or component, don't keep it to yourself.  Make sure all of you co-works know about it and in todays world, send a note to the manufacturer.  Everyone wins.  Communication is the key to successful engineering.

     

    Just my opinion.
