Getting Started

System requirements

We recommend at least Windows 7 operating system (however, we know of Windows XP

and 32 bit machines working well with EPIC). EPIC is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit

from the

Electron Plus

website.

1x USB 2.0 type A (common) for connection to the instrument, at 0.5A.

Screen resolution of at least 1440(W) x 900(H), it will work with others, but you risk some of

the CONTROL RIBBON items not being visible.

EPIC uses the PC sound card for various alerts, although it will operate correctly without

sound.

Technical Note

We test EPIC builds mainly on Windows 10/64 bit machines with

1920x1080 monitors.

Installation sequence

Please install the EPIC software and the associated USB driver software BEFORE

connecting your device to a computer.

You do not need to remove a previous copy of EPIC, the new copy will overwrite the

necessary existing file(s). The "settings.txt" file will only be created if it is not present.

When EPIC is first started, it will build a number of files (unless they are already there from

a previous installation) in the installation directory.

If upgrading from EPIC V21.009 or earlier please be aware that the

new program EXE is called either EPIC32.EXE or EPIC64.EXE and that

previous shortcuts might not work or will link to previous EPIC.EXE
