TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Our engineers have been defining these two terms as follows:
Configurable = The user can set the parameters once.
Reconfigurable = The user can set the parameters numerous times.
If configure = change, then reconfigure means re-change?
If configure = cycle, then reconfigure means recycle?
Perhaps I'm being picky, but it's bothering me. How do other TCs use these
terms?
