The sub-system description document has two key functions:
- It is an element of the application file, which is the software engineering deliverable product that will be posted on the Sauer-Danfoss website for users to download.
- It includes a benefits section making it suitable for promotional purposes.
System descriptions include, but are not limited to:
- Sub-system overview
- Hardware components
- Application software
