System requirements
We recommend at least Windows 7 and a 64 bit machine (however, we know of Windows
XP and 32 bit machines working well with EPIC).
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.

Before you Start
The metal spike is SHARP. When you have finished using the ASA101A, unscrew the spike, turn it round
and screw it lightly back into the ASA101A.
Ensure that all DUT* capacitors and energy storage devices are fully discharged before using the ASA101A.
The SIGNAL connection is protected by a large 'Transzorb' style device, but damage WILL occur if the
ASA101A is placed across a fully charged DCLINK capacitor.
Before connecting your device, please ensure you have installed the USB driver.
