Reference Designators Made Easy
Reference Designators Made Easy
(OP)
Does anyone know of a usable guide that spells out the rules for assigning reference designators in documentation? I know I can buy IEEE-315 but that is so formal and nebulous that it only leads to confusion!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Every industry uses slightly different jargon for the devices they use, even though those devices are common accross many disciplines. I have changed disciplines many times in my 25 years as an instrumentation engineer, and I have found that making up a list of proposed reference designators which are intuitively obvious (usually one and two letter abbrevriations of that industries jargon) and presenting it to the people who will be reading the schematics works out well.
