we now have a mixture of files a folders? and Dave is now making folders for each enabling members to uploaded to the folders my question within the folder we have a mixture Eg

8350 , HP 8350 , (Manual part number) , description , Agilent? (when the manual is HP)

?

Then we have the prefix as in? E4418B


As long as the directory has no manufacturer. I don't see any problem with a file having HP, Agilent or Keysight in the name, although if it's? the wrong name, it can be changed. But that's not a major issue. The reason I don't want HP, Agilent or Keysight in the directory names is that often instruments were made by more than one company - the 3458A multimeter being an obvious example, that was made by HP, Agilent and is still made by Keysight.

Instruments with letters as a prefix are being shown after those without a prefix. I don't see an issue with that. It's the same when I search a list of files on my computer.

?

To be consistent with the manual front page I suggest the following format and No manufactures name? eg

?

8350?????? sweeper ??????op, service, CCT , manual part number, revision date

?

E4418 Power meter? op, service, CCT , manual part number, revision date

?

Hopefully this will also address the following issues about Circuit Diagrams CCT

Service manuals that should have circuit diagrams ( CCT ) but they are missing

You need to be realistic. Most will not have circuit diagrams. Some do mention they have circuits, or stitched together, so not always complete.
I think you also need to accept that if people are kind enough to upload the documents, we can't expect them to go around naming them in the exact way you want. Trying to force people to name the files in a way you want will probably result in less being uploaded.?

?

Service manuals that never had CCT as thy had CLIPS

Service manuals that only go down to Module or PCB level


Yes, but people can look at them themselves before reading. The best thing is to get the data uploaded.

Also the word ARMY should be included in the manual part number if it is an army document


A good idea, but I would not lose any sleep over that one. If someone gets a new instrument, they are likely to download all the files and look at them themselves.??

?

A large amount of pictures are going into the documentation files?

Should these go into the pictures file?


No, I think they are best with the instrument, all in the one place. Put a sub-directory "Photographs" if there's more than a couple.

My main concern is to get the data uploaded.
