the creation and selection of general content, style, format and user interaction features of the IETM.
However, this speciication is intended to be implemented in combination with the speciic style guides and
detailed requirements speciications of individual end item IETMs, e.g., an IETM for a speciic functional
area or a speciic weapon system. These documents in turn reference this speciication for the general
IETM requirements which are common to the differing functional end item IETMs. This speciication
is not a complete end item speciication in itself. Speciic requirements for the type of IETM under
development are found in the associated performance speciication identiied in the contract Statement of
Work (SOW) for the corresponding conventional technical manual (TM) functionality. This speciication
applies to all levels of maintenance.
6.1.1 Interaction of the IETM and the EDS. An IETM should be constructed to be fully compatible with
the operating and presentation software of an EDS, and should be presented on such a display device before
any actual use, testing, or evaluation of operational suitability can take place (i.e., using the Government
speciied end user IETM display device). In this sense an IETM does not exist without its corresponding
EDS, and, each formatting and user interaction requirement cited in this speciication should have a
corresponding software section in the associated EDS design speciication.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify:
a. Title, number, and date of the speciication.
b. Issue to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the speciic issue of individual documents
referenced (see 2.3).
c. End user skill level to which the IETM is to be developed (see 3.3.1).
d. If procedures within steps will be other than as speciied herein (see 3.3.1).
e. If a separately developed higher skill level track will be used, and, if the novice user will be
prohibited from accessing the higher skill level track (see 3.3.2).
f. Approved shortened identiiers for nomenclatures (i.e., acronyms) used for equipment item
assemblies, parts, etc., (see 3.3.4.3).
g. If conversion of U.S. standards of measurement to metric standards of measurement is to
be included (see 3.3.4.5.).
h. A "permitted word" list(s), when required (see 3.3.4.7).
i. The least capable device to be supported by the IETM (see 3.3.5).
j. If nomenclature used in graphics is to be other than as speciied herein (see 3.3.5.7).
k. How the human igures used in graphics are to be clothed, e.g., enlisted working uniform for
a particular Service (see 3.3.5.9).
l. If wire lists, schematics, and wiring diagrams referenced by an associated text pane will be
other than as speciied herein (see 3.3.5.12).
m. If locator graphics will be optional or part of the procedural or descriptive information
(see 3.3.5.14).
n. If additional user interface components other than described in this speciication is to be
implemented (see 3.4.1).
o. If a single window device will be used (see 3.4.1.2,)
p. If the additional window controls, i.e. window resize, relocation, and menu button are
required (see 3.4.1.2.4.2).
q. The reference viewing distance, if other than as speciied herein (see 3.4.2.2.1).
r. If the footer bar location is to be other than as speciied herein (see 3.5.1.3)
s. If the top line in the client area is to be reserved for additional header information and any
requirements for information displayed on that line (see 3.5.1.4).
