4 Photic Stimulator Setup Software

Photic setup and control software is supported on Microsoft Windows XP, Vista Windows 7, Windows 8 & 8.1 and

Windows 10.
The Photic Stimulator is connected to the host PC USB port. Over the USB connection, the software allows the user

to define parameters such as flash repetition rate, intensity and duration as well as run simple, sweep or complex

trains of stimulation.

NOTE: The screenshots shown in the following sections are for illustrative purposes only and may not be exact

representations of the actual product.

4.1 Installation

The USB drivers will be found on the installation CD. Upon first connection of the Photic to the PC USB port, at the
