2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The working environment requirements vary somewhat by module. However, if the following general guidelines are met, your thermal analysis system should provide optimum performance: Environment is temperature controlled (optimum range 20-35ϒC). Environment is clean and dust-free. Work area is ventilated but away from direct air drafts. Work area is not exposed to direct sunlight. Work surface is stable and vibration-free. Stable source of electrical power is available. Sources of clean, dry, oil-free purge, cooling and air bearing gases are available.
