Installation laptop and software

• The laptop is pre-installed by ABT Sportsline. Following structure is
determined:

D:\EDaS
D:\EDaS\Datasets
D:\EDaS\User manuals
D:\EDaS\Forms
D:\Project Abt
D:\Project Abt\2.02

• In the EDaS folder you will find the current EDC / MED 17 software.
• Furthermore, there are the file folders "Datasets", in which you save
the serial readout, the file folders "User manuals" and "Forms". Here
the corresponding documents are backed-up.
• In the file folder "Project Abt\2.02" the drivers for the EDX and the
OBD software are stored.

ESD workstation
• Today, in the electronics, devices and integrated circuits with field
effect transistors are used to an increasing degree. Those as well as
related systems enjoy increasing popularity due to technical
advantages.
However, these devices do not only have advantages when it comes to
manufacturing or repairing because voltage sources are not much
attenuated due to the high input resistance.
Electrical voltages over approximately 100 volts which can result from
electrostatic charging or from interferences from the main power
supply can damage or even penetrate the depletion layer and can lead
to a total failure of the component. To avoid failures of such or similar
components during opening, reading or writing, strictly obey the ESD
precautions (Susceptibility to Electrostatic Discharges) and use
appropriate devices. (Are already provided by us). For this reason, we
offer a complementary ESD workstation.
