What's new in Data Sensor?

This topic summarizes the technical changes for this edition.

New and changed information is denoted by carets (Symbol that indicates the start of new or changed content and Symbol that indicates the end of new or changed content) at the beginning and end of the new or changed information. Editorial changes that have no technical significance are not noted.

Revision markers follow these general conventions:

  • Only technical changes are marked; style and grammatical changes are not marked.
  • If part of an element, such as a paragraph, syntax diagram, list item, task step, or figure is changed, the entire element is marked with revision markers, even though only part of the element might have changed.
  • If a topic is changed by more than 50%, the entire topic is marked with revision markers (so it might seem to be a new topic, even though it is not).

Revision markers do not necessarily indicate all the changes made to the information because deleted text and graphics cannot be marked with revision markers.
