• A SWP with new Version Level, providing main features in addition to those of the previous Ver-
sion Level SWP, is distributed by means of a SWP CD–ROM having new "Denomination","P/
N" (Part Number), and "CS" restarting from 01
• A SWP patch version, if any, is created to correct SW bugs, and/or to add minor features, andis
distributed by means of a SWP CD–ROM, that can be identified:
– by the same "P/N" of the former CD–ROM, but with an incremented "CS" number
(e.g.CS=02 instead of previous CS=01)
– or by a new "P/N", and "CS" restarting from 01.
Handbook Updating
The handbooks associated to the "product-release" are listed in "History" on page 24.
Each handbook is identified by:
– the name of the "product–release" (and "version" when the handbook is applicable to the versions
starting from it, but not to the previous ones),
– the handbook name,
– the handbook Part Number,
– the handbook edition (usually first edition=01),
– the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the date
on which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production.
Changes introduced in the same product–release (same handbook P/N)
The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons:
– only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the edi-
torial system not changing the technical contents of the handbook.
– the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents. In
this case:
• the changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in "History" on page 24;
• in affected chapters, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications in text and draw-
ings.
Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g. from
Ed.01 to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) maintain the same edition but with the addition of
a version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A). Version character can be used for draft or proposal edi-
tions.
Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product–release's
"version" marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version, if
the screen contents are unchanged.
Supplying updated handbooks to Customers
Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted to
commercial criteria.
By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue (sup-
plying errata-corrige sheets is not envisaged).
