Operating Environment
The A is a precise measuring instrument, and as such, care should be taken not to subject it to any
harsh environment (i.e., hot, cold, oily or damp).
The system relies upon the accurate measurement of leakage currents across the test-site tracks, to calculate
the resistance value, and therefore
it is important not to place the unit into an area of high Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI), or run measurement cables too close to electrical supply cabling.
EMI on a large scale, can cause inaccurate or unstable resistance readings, therefore, the measurement
cabling should always be fully screened.
The unit should be placed onto a stable surface, and away from areas where it could be disturbed. If the
A is placed close to an Environmental Chamber, care should be taken not to allow condensation
from the chamber to run down the measurement cables to the back of the unit.

Computer Requirement
Computer: Minimum recommended requirements are 1.5GHz processor – 4Gb RAM – Windows® 10 –
Microsoft® .net framework 4.7.2.
The A and its software are designed to be used with a Windows® computer. Our software is
backward compatible down to Windows® 7.
It is essential that properly authorised Windows® software is used. Unauthorised versions can
adversely affect system performance.
