If you place your EIS Box within an enclosed space, make sure that the internal temperature within that space
does not exceed 45
 C, the maximum ambient temperature for the EIS Box. Be particularly careful if a computer
or other heat-dissipating equipment is mounted in the same enclosure as the EIS Box.
The EIS Box is not designed for outdoor use.
Computer Requirements
Before you connect an EIS Box to a computer, you must make sure that your computer meets these
requirements:
•
A computer based on one of the x86 or x64 families of Intel microprocessors, or a 100%-
compatible processor from another vendor,
• Microsoft
®
Windows 7 or higher is required. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these operating
systems are supported. See the Gamry website “www.gamry.com” if you have a newer edition of
Windows

• An ethernet port or a USB port.
Quick-Start Guide for System Installation
Your shipment should have included a document entitled Quick-Start Installation Guide . It contains the latest
instructions for installing Gamry Instruments’ hardware and software onto a computer system. If this document
is missing, you can find it on www.gamry.com. The Quick-start Guide found at www.gamry.com contains the
latest information concerning system installation, so the information provided below is always subject to
change.
Software Installation
The EIS Box is compatible with the Windows ® Plug & Play configuration system. Like most Plug & Play
hardware, it is best if you install the software for the EIS Box before you install the instrument hardware.
Gamry Instruments ’ software can be installed from a physical medium such as a DVD or a pre -programmed
software flash drive, or it can be installed via an Internet download. The most up-to-date download can be
found on www.gamry.com.
If you install from a physical medium, Gamry Software Setup program will normally start automatically when
you place the Gamry Instruments
’ installation medium into your computer.
An Internet download of Gamry Instruments ’ software will download a self -extracting .EXE file. Running this file
will extract the software and begin the same installation process as you get with a physical medium.
If you have inserted the Gamry DVD or flash drive into your computer and the Gamry Setup program does not
start automatically:
1) Navigate to the root folder of the device containing the Gamry Software (DVD or Flash Drive) or to a
Windows
® folder containing the Gamry Software.
2) Run the program called
AUTORUN.EXE
found in this folder.
Caution:
Do not block the airflow into or out of the EIS Box chassis. The EIS Box will
enter a power-down state if it becomes overheated. If this occurs during data-acquisition, you may lose
experimental data.
