IETM / IETP Development

Widespread delivery of data — server-side updates — easy edits...

IETM / IETP technology puts information where it's needed. Faster, better and more accessible. Interactive information - on-demand - is the most efficient, cost-effective method to control, deliver and maintain data.

WHAT CAN INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS DO?

Properly authored IETMs allow operators and maintenance personnel to locate needed information far more rapidly than paper manuals. The information is often displayed locally to the problem (on-board systems, for example) and visual information intuitively presented typically supplies a speedier resolution.

From the authoring and updating side, complete IETM systems allow information authors to improve control of content and to distribute changes and updates quickly.

A truly paperless, interactive environment of contextual information can drive faster and more accurate responses throughout your process.

DTB Technical Services Division can develop IETMs to any standards and requirements. Contact us with your project information to see how we can help.

IETMs are typically viewed via standard web browser which provides widespread cross-platform accessibility.

An interface familiar to the user enhances user accessibility to intelligently linked document systems.

IETMs Stand For Efficiency
Faster, better and more cost-effective From simple conversions of printed material to full featured, highly interactive manuals that interface with your equipment's on-board diagnostics, DTB's IETM / IETP development experience can provide you with state-of-the-art system.

IETM Characteristics:

IETM / IETP standards are described as follows:

Class 0	Paper - Printed manuals.	Type I
Class 1	Electronically Indexed Page Images - Page images rather than live text, intelligent graphics, etc. may contain rudimentary linking within document internal structure.
Class 2	Electronic Scrolling Documents - Live text with SGML/XML tags. May include multimedia. Internal linking.
Class 3	Linear Structured IETMs - Utilizes SGML or XML. Most often viewed as an indexed PDF file (page turner).
Class 4	Hierarchically Structured IETMs - Fully structured hierarchy of information specifically authored for the IETM. Dynamic cross-reference features. Typically a relational or object-oriented database stores data tagged with SGML / XML. Robust search features.	Type II
Class 5	Integrated Process IETMs - Systems that go beyond providing information, but actually interact with hardware and process equipment. Provides strong: • Diagnostics • Remote Diagnostics • Intrusive Diagnostics • Expert Systems • Test Equipment • Prime Equipment Diagnostics	Type II
