As a technical writer, you need to know your reader, their technical skill level, and how detailed your schematics should be. This can be easily achieved by following 3 easy steps.
1. Know your audience. If you're writing for the general public, you should use simple, easy to understand language. If you're writing for a technical audience a higher level of technical vocabulary is necessary.
2. What is the purpose of your document? You need to know why you are writing the document. Are you writing to educate the reader, refresh reader knowledge, or to be persuasive. If you are writing to educate your audience, be direct and thorough. If you are persuading your audience, use inviting language to entice the reader to agree with you.
3. The tone you use can affect how your readers interpret your document. Are you trying to be serious, informative, or persuasive? Remember, avoid using humor when writing a professional document.
