Download EventScope
Follow
the instructions on the screen to finish installing
EventScope.
The
installer will place two icons on your desktop.
Open "Tutorial" to see a guide that will
help you get started with EventScope.
Open "EventScope" to start the EventScope
Navigation Tool.
If the simple installation steps above did not work,
or you want to learn more about how to install EventScope
optimally, read the following additional installation
notes.
Uninstall previous versions of EventScope before installing
the new version. To uninstall EventScope, open the
"Add/Remove Programs" control panel and
select EventScope.
There
are two different versions of EventScope which use
two different 3D graphics drivers: DirectX
and OpenGL. The DirectX version is given in the simple
installation instructions above because it runs on
a wider range of computers. However the OpenGL version
does run better on some computers. Try both to see
which runs better on your computer.
Update the graphics driver on your computer to the
latest version. This can make a dramatic difference
in the reliability and speed of the 3D graphics in
EventScope. To get the latest graphics driver, go
to the web site of the manufacturer of the graphics
card in your computer. Or if the graphcs hardware
came integrated in the computer, go to the web site
of the manufacturer of your computer. Most of these
web sites will have instructions on how to download
and install the latest graphics driver.
If
you are installing the DirectX version of EventScope,
you may need to update the version of DirectX on your
computer. DirectX can be downloaded from the Microsoft
web site here:

EventScope
will NOT run correctly if the Display Settings are
set to 256 colors or less.
Open the "Display" control panel and on
the "Settings" tab, switch to a higher color
setting such as "16 bit" or "32 bit".
Generally a higher color setting will improve the
appearance of 3D graphics in EventScope, but may cause
the 3D graphics to run more slowly.
Set
the screen resolution to at least 800 by 600 pixels.
Some parts of EventScope will be cut off at lower
resolutions. To change the screen resolution, open
the "Display" control panel and go to the
"Settings" tab.
