Software Installation

NOTE:  Uninstall any previous version before 

installing the software.

ASPEN Control Panel software can be installed from 

the disk supplied with each processor, or from files 

downloaded from the ASPEN Support web site.
http://www.lectrosonics.com/aspensupport
Installation is straightforward and requires no special 

instructions.
The downloaded 

ASPEN Control Panel

 Installer will 

automatically install the USB driver, GUI and Help files. 
The disk supplied with the processor has separate 

installers. Make sure you have at least the USB driver 

and control panel GUI installed.
The Welcome screen appears first with a brief message 

about closing other programs before installing. Click 

Next

 to continue.

The next screen displays the 

License Agreement

Click on I Agree to continue.

The third screen displays an option to select the desired 

installation. It is best to check all three boxes so the 

the USB driver, Control Panel and Help utility will all be 

installed.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installa-

tion. On the last screen, click 

Finish

 to exit the installer.

Refer to the Help Files

Once the processors are installed, configured and com-

municating with a computer system, refer to the Help 

files in the software ASPEN Control Panel program for 

additional information regarding the available settings, 

adjustments and control.

Creating an ASPEN 

Installer Disk

If you do not have the disk supplied with the processor, 

go to the web site and download the ASPEN Installation 

Disk .iso file.
http://www.lectrosonics.com/aspensupport/index.php/

installation-disk
Save the file to your local drive in a familiar location. 

Open a disk copier utility such as Roxio Classic and 

select the operation to 

Burn from a Disk Image File

.

NOTE:  The .iso file cannot be simply copied to the 

disk. The disk recording utility must run a process 

that creates a disk from a stored image file.

The .iso file format is recognized by almost any disk 

creation software.
