Simplified signal flow one-line diagrams take up about dozen 8.5 X 11 sheets, drawn small (hooray for Visio!) and under constant revision (see earlier hooray). It is fraught with gotchas; and that's one of the simpler subsystems. "Conan the Objectivist's" real-life counterpart oversees the end-process monitoring system, and his one-lines fill a couple of fat binders.<br /><br /> Yowza.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-90508776378021291952013-01-06T16:58:16.422-05:002013-01-06T16:58:16.422-05:00Ricknocho,
