First I want to say that AD's documentation is a great resource. Especially for folks like me who are trying to learn industrial controls and electronics on their own. I have a tiny nitpick if you don't mind. In the Do-More Designer help files, Topic DMD0503, there is an example for a simple two state stage program. The section does a beautiful job of introducing the concept of stage programming to a neophyte like myself, but one little typo really threw me for a loop this Saturday morning. If you look at the second example, where it demonstrates the concept of Initial Stage, the first stage is identified as S10, where it should be S1 I think. My brain stubbornly kept saying, they want that Stage 10 in there for something, and kept trying to make the example work with S10 as the initial stage. It took about 6 unsuccessful attempts before my internal rock hammer busted through my thick skull and whispered "Hey hammerhead maybe its a typo. " Anyway, maybe that could go on the list of things to fix at some point. :D
