15 January 2009; Burlington, Vermont:

Solari Communication received a Merit award for the writing, photography, and design of a trio of Set-up Guides for Ascension Technology. Based in Milton Vermont, Ascension Technology makes three-dimensional tracking devices for medical guidance, minimally invasive surgery, real-time visualization, and target acquisition. The Pittsburgh Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication awarded Solari with this honor through its regional communication competition.

Through the use of large format broadsheets, these guides explain in detail how to set up three of Ascension Technology’s tracking devices: the driveBay, the medSAFE, and the trakSTAR. These set-up guides are designed for neophyte users, helping them set up their tracking devices without the need to contact technical support.
