¥ How was the product configured (in detail)?
¥ Which, if any, cables were modified and how?
¥ With what equipment is the unit interfaced?
¥ What was the application?
¥ What was the system environment (temperature, enclosure, spacing, contaminants, etc.)?
¥ What upgrades, if any, are required (hardware, software, user guide)?
