Software Instructions

Once you download and install ObieApp and your sound card drivers, you can start taking data. It is important to connect everything, including the soundcard, to the machine running the software and turn the OCTACAPTURE on BEFORE starting the software. The first time you run, the software will ask you for a folder in which you will store all your data, if you need help in that, click here. At any time you can check (and set) all connections in the preferences window, for more information, click here. Finally, if you ever are wondering what something does, drag your mouse over anything in the software -- most buttons and graphs will have mouseover tips.

Here you will find short videos walking through how to use the program.

Once the software is running, here are some things to try:

• Try a tap test with the Scratchpad

• Take Sample Data

• Run a Full Test

• Analyze/Compare Data Sets

• Calibration and Units

• Customize Your App (templates and lists)
