ASA100 User Manual (using EPIC 21 software) - work in progress

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.

Introduction

Welcome

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing an Electron Plus product.

Please take a few minutes to read the

‘Before You Start’

section of this manual, especially

as misusing this product can result in damage to it, your device-under-test or potentially

place you in-danger.

ASA100 User Manual (using EPIC 21 software) - work in progress

Before you start

Please use the supplied USB lead - it have been tested to work with your ASA100. Thin

USB cables tend to exhibit higher resistance which may cause in-correct operation of your

device.

Ensure that all DUT* capacitors and energy storage devices are fully discharged before

using the ASA100.

The

SIGNAL

connection is protected by a large 'Transzorb' style device, but damage WILL

occur if the ASA100 is placed across a fully charged DCLINK capacitor.

The

COMMON

connection is connected directly to the chassis of the instrument and

therefore the USB 0V and shell.

Before connecting your device, please ensure you have installed the USB driver.

If you wish to make a permanent safety connection to

EARTH

read

Earthing for function

and safety

section.

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
