- | ====== Block Diagrams ====== | ||
- | |||
- | Block diagrams are important to display information in a visual way to an audience. Block diagrams have the potential to display more information in a more condensed form that just text alone. | ||
- | |||
- | Depending on what you're trying to describe the specific elements can be different but here are some points you should follow: | ||
- | |||
- | * Figure out what information you want to convey to the audience | ||
- | * Are you describing the overall system? | ||
- | * Are you describing an algorithm? | ||
- | * Are you describing a workflow? | ||
- | * You may need multiple block diagrams in your presentation, or you might need less. | ||
- | * Make sure you outline relationships well | ||
- | * For hardware - how are the hardware components interconnected? | ||
- | * For software - you might be describing how your program logically flows from one state to another | ||
- | * Include enough text to give your audience context | ||
- | * Label communication types or voltage/current measurements | ||
- | * Make sure that you're representing things correctly | ||
- | * Is there a chance for misintrepretation? | ||
- | * Get comments/feedback early and revise | ||
- | |||
