This Manual

There is a programming and a reference manual for each On Time RTOS-32 component. The documentation is accessible from the Windows Start Menu (Start -> Programs -> On Time RTOS-32 -> On Time RTOS-32 Documentation) or from within Visual Studio (press F1). The programming manuals contain general information about each component while the reference manuals contain the complete API reference.

If you have MSDN or Visual Studio installed, you can have the HTML Help documentation for On Time RTOS-32 appear within the MSDN or the Visual Studio help system. While the install program has by default added the On Time RTOS-32 documentation to the Visual Studio Help system, updating an MSDN subscription may remove it again. If this happens, click entry MSDN Documentation Integration or VS.NET Documentation Integration in the Windows On Time RTOS-32 Start Menu.

The On Time RTOS-32 documentation is available in three different formats: HTML Help 1.0, HTML Help 2.0, and HTML Help 3.0 (MS Help Viewer 1.0). HTML Help 1.0 is an integral part of Windows since Windows 2000 and thus always available. To view the On Time RTOS-32 documentation with HTML Help 1.0, use this command line:

%windir%\hh.exe "C:\Program Files\On Time RTOS-32 6.0\Doc\Rtos-32.col"

Please adjust path names as needed.

HTML Help 2.0 is installed as part of Microsoft Visual Studio versions .NET, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2008. The command line to view the On Time RTOS-32 documentation with HTML Help 2.0 is:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help 9\Dexplore.exe" /helpcol ms-help://on-time.rtos-32

Again, please adjust path names as needed.

With Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft introduced HTML Help 3.0 (officially called MS Help Viewer 1.0). It can be used to view the On Time RTOS-32 documentation with command line:

ms-xhelp://?method=page&id=rtos-32.intro.0&product=VS&productVersion=100&locale=en-us

Visual Studio 2012's MS Help Viewer 2.0 can be launched with command line:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.0\HlpViewer.exe" /catalogName VisualStudio11

Visual Studio 2013's MS Help Viewer 2.1 can be launched with:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.1\HlpViewer.exe" /catalogName VisualStudio12

Visual Studio 2015's MS Help Viewer 2.2 can be launched with:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.2\HlpViewer.exe" /catalogName VisualStudio14

Visual Studio 2017's MS Help Viewer 2.3 can be launched with:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Help Viewer\v2.3\HlpViewer.exe" /catalogName VisualStudio15

Starting with Visaul Studio 2019, no MS Help Viewer is available, but HTML Help 1.0 (see above) can still be used.
