“NagraEMP” software installation

.

In order to operate the built-in recorder it needs to have the NAGRA EMP software installed on a PC to
enable to be “set-up”. The latest version of the NAGRA EMP software can be found on our web site

www.nagraaudio.com

.

Connecting the Nagra EMP preamplifier to a PC on which the NAGRA EMP is NOT installed or not running
will have no effect and the recorder will be “invisible” for the user. Likewise, attempting to “run” the
NAGRAEMP software on a PC WITHOUT the Nagra preamp connected will immediately close the window
(a NagraEMP icon will be shown in the bottom right corner), until the Nagra EMP is connected via USB.

Before connecting the Nagra EMP to the PC or laptop. Insert the Nagra memory stick in the PC or laptop or
use the downloaded version. With Windows Explorer select in the memory stick EMP_Installer_Vx.xxx or
the downloaded version and double click to start the installation.

Important note
If a previous NAGRA EMP software was already installed on your PC or laptop, uninstall first, then power
down the PC or laptop and start again.

Once installed, via the “Start” button, “All Programs”, select “Nagra EMP” and run.

The program starts and immediately disappears (it runs in the background of the PC until a Nagra EMP is
connected to the USB port).

Connect the EMP (in power off mode) via the USB cable to the PC or laptop. The EMP will be powered via
the USB cable from the PC or laptop (No need to turn on the Nagra EMP). The first time it is connected, the
Nagra EMP will be recognised by the PC or laptop. Once this is done, the program starts.

The top of the screen shows the current settings of the machine (status bar).
