How to read a document code
Each document has a permanent code such as RTX-203-1. The first digit indicates the series, the remaining digits the document within it, and a suffix marks a related part. The code stays the same across editions; the version number identifies a specific edition.
- Code page – always shows the current listed edition
- Version page – a permanent address for one edition
- SHA-256 checksum – confirms that a downloaded file is unchanged
