Further information on the applications of the Ability Meter is available in the article 'Biofeedback Monitoring'.

• There is no Balance knob and the needle is brought to 'Set' by the exclusive auto-rebalancing electronics. This also occurs instantaneously because of the unique Natural Needle Response.

  Why unique? Ability Meter needle movements are specially manufactured to our specifications and form the heart of our unrivalled and highly acclaimed Natural Needle Response. The fast movement of the needle instantly and accurately reflects what is actually happening within the mind of the subject with no inertial 'swings' of the needle.

• The Balance position is shown on a very large display ('2.85' in the picture above).

  There are also digital displays of the total count of Balance changes in a session and of the Time. Sensitivity can be adjusted to suit the subject. The use of modern electronics means that the Ability Meter will provide years of reliable operation with no necessity for re-calibration after manufacture, e.g. with changes in ambient temperature.

• Manual Mode

  There is a pushbutton switch on each side of the meter so that the needle can be Set using either hand. There is also a remote plug-in switch which can be used as a footswitch. These switches can be operated silently and move the needle to the Set position in a fraction of a second, when the needle has gone off either end of the dial.

• Automatic Mode

  In this mode the meter detects when the needle has gone off the dial and generates an automatic needle Set. The manual pushbuttons, however, remain operational. A red indicator lamp in the middle of the dial illuminates whenever a needle Set is activated, eliminating any confusion between a genuine Reading and a meter-generated rebalancing movement.

Since the needle is brought to Set so rapidly (automatic rebalancing), there is little chance of missing the Reads (instant needle responses) which may occur if one has to adjust the Balance manually or if the needle moves right off the dial.

The meter demands much less attention from the user, solo or with a client. For example, when assessing a list, the user can Set the needle at the beginning of the question without even looking at the dial, and know that it will be ready to catch the Read which may occur at the end of the question.

The ease with which the needle can be Set, particularly using the footswitch or in automatic mode, is a great asset to the solo user of this equipment.

New circuitry in the Ability Meter Model 3a overcomes the problem of a drop in sensitivity at high Balance settings (corresponding to high basal resistance).

This Ability Meter now runs on only two AA cells, lasting many hundreds of hours. These batteries can easily be replaced without opening the case and there is a low battery indicator in addition to the usual battery indication on the dial. What if you forget to turn the meter off? No problem! The meter turns itself off automatically if not used for about 30 minutes.

The Needle Movement counter (previously an option) is now included as a standard feature. This facility provides an alternative to the standard method of counting the total of Balance Action (a.k.a. TA) on the basis of the amount of rebalancing required during a session.

The Ability Meter is now software upgradeable!

The digital clock gives by default a 12 hour display. However a 24 hour display is also available - this needs to be specified at the time of ordering.

Due to completely redesigned electronics, the price has been able to be reduced to 499 GBP with absolutely no compromise in the high quality of construction and the components used.

"Needle reads much better than on other meters. Here in Moscow one of the leading practitioners of our group has the Ability Meter 3a - very beautiful and efficient meters." O.M.

"I received my meter, works great, as described." J.G.

"I'm impressed!!!!!!!! It's great to know somebody is working on better instruments to help us enhance awareness and freedom." G.S.

"The first meter arrived yesterday. After a short session it became clear that you really have a state of the art meter." C.T. California.

"I am using it everyday and it is a superb machine." C.T.

"Many thanks for the 3a meter. It is much better than any previous unit we have ever seen or operated. Well done for a really pro job." V.B.

"The meter provides a clean and accurate mirror of all that is going on in the mind. This inspires a relaxed confidence. So much better than any other meter I have used, regardless of cost. The automatic facility works like a dream and the quality of the electronics is superb!" D.H.
