Hi inevitably on these devices, there is a marketing brochure that hits the high points in the specification. That information is public and intended to get “buzz” going on the product. Once an OEM gets serious about the product, (the TBolt is targeted at OEM’s) a detailed specification gets written. It may be in the form of detailed specs or in the form of a test regime / service scenario the unit is expected to perform in. That document is rarely available to the public.
