This is the contents page for the electronic acumen user guide.

These user guide pages are updated regularly in line with system updates.

Since March 2022 we have been supporting the acumen suite on a best-efforts basis while the future of the tools is decided, however efforts are still made to ensure the information here is relevant and up-to-date.
