The following hardware requirements outline the minimum hardware required for any machine or mobile device that will access the GE Digital APM system. These requirements account for the GE Digital APM software only. Additional hardware may be required on clients where other components are installed. These requirements may not be sufficient, depending upon how your system is configured.
Support for mobile devices is provided in two resolution view modes: full or limited. Full-resolution view mode supports access to the entire GE Digital APM system. Limited-resolution view mode supports limited access to overview pages and data collection. Resolution view mode is determined by the type of device that is used to access GE Digital APM, and is not a selectable option.
Note: Interaction with diagramming and design canvases is not available on touch-screen devices. If needed, use a mouse peripheral to utilize this functionality.

Software Requirements
The following software components are required on any machine or device that will access the GE Digital APM system.
One of the following browsers is required for desktops, laptops, and mobile devices:

Note: If your system uses Data Guardian from Koingo Software and you use the Google Chrome browser, you may have to use the browser in Incognito mode to successfully access GE Digital APM.
Internet Explorer 11
Microsoft Edge
Safari 8 (Mac only)
Note: You can access GE Digital APM via the browser on a mobile device, but it is recommended that you install and use the GE Digital APM mobile application for an enhanced experience. On a mobile device, to ensure that the mobile application works as intended, you should set your default browser to the desktop versions of Chrome or Internet Explorer (as opposed to the application versions).
One of the following operating systems is required for mobile devices:
Android Kitkat 4.4
Android Lollipop 5.0
Android Marshmallow 6.0
Apple iOS 8
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Windows 10 (64-bit)
Note: The method used to access Reference Documents in the GE Digital APM mobile application will vary depending on your device platform. For example, on Windows and Android devices, the first time you access Reference Documents, you will be prompted to select the application in which you want to open a file, and this selection will then become the default. Apple iOS will always prompt you to select an application. On all platforms, you will also be prompted when the platform for your device does not recognize the file type that it is attempting to download.
