1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Organization and Formatting<\/h2>\n

1.1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 General (same as for other B-sheets; follow this link\u00a0for easy reference<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

1.2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sheet-Specific\u00a0\u2014 Making it All Fit<\/h3>\n

How you lay out the information on the sheet is up to you.\u00a0 The example provided is simply an example.\u00a0 Of course, as usual, the Page Input<\/em> textbox should be at the top left and the Page Output<\/em> textbox should remain at the bottom, better yet at the bottom right<\/strong> if at all possible.<\/p>\n

2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Content Presentation<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • There is no specific Page Input<\/em> textbox\/content needed for this page. Instead, the entirety of the \u201cData\/Facts\/Information\u201d gathered is in a sense input from the sources you identify for each piece of information.<\/li>\n
  • Use the pre-titled Function-Level Concepts\u00a0\u2014 Data\/Facts\/Information<\/em> box to generate a list of information gathered about all function-level concepts that will be satisfied by commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and\/or subsystems. Also include results of trials that confirm, for any unconventional, uncertain concepts, that the concept will, in fact, provide the intended function.\u00a0 Formatting this information as a table instead of bullet points is an option to consider.\u00a0 In any case, group by function-level concept and for each indicate:\n
      \n
    • The related main system function.<\/li>\n
    • A brief description of the representative item found in a catalog or other source, including identifying number.<\/li>\n
    • Relevant metrics such as but not limited to purchase price, weight, size, materials, and performance specs (such as but not limited to power\/stall-torque\/max-speed for a motor; generated force and travel distance for a linear actuator, pneumatic cylinder, etc.; sensitivity, voltage\/current input and output, etc. for a sensor).<\/li>\n
    • Reference information so you or someone else can find the source of this information at a later date\u00a0\u2014 do not put this in your references list, just put it here, and be specific, for example, the URL for the specific page for the specific item in an online catalog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Insert a graphical rendering of the initial system-level datum from the DP Manager Excel<\/em> workbook; that is, the datum to be used in the first-round of system-level concept assessment. Use the copy table buttons on the Excel<\/em> worksheet (typically the \u201cCopy Table with Heading\u201d button for use in the TAD).<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Complete the with the page by populating the Page Output<\/em> textbox.\u00a0 In this case, the page output simply includes where this information is next used and for what and\/or how it is used (\u201cwhere next\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Examples of Great Work<\/h2>\n

      Do a great job and be the first!<\/h3>\n
