Step 1.

  1. Connect the EPOC+ device directly to a USB connector, into your computer.

Step 2.

  1. Turn on the EPOC+ device. (White light will be on)

Step 3.

  1. Open CyKIT.py as you would to stream.
    C:\CyKIT-master\py3> C:\python34x32\python.exe .\CyKIT.py 127.0.0.1 54123 6 pywinusb
    (preferred method is to also use the pywinusb config option)

Step 4.

  1. Choose the rate of speed the EPOC+ device will broadcast data.
Note: A higher EEG data speed of 256hz, or a higher gyro speed of 64hz will 
result in a shorter battery life.  To delay time between charging, you can 
choose a lower data transmission rate. 

Step 5.

  1. Verify the mode change was completed successfully.
    Then CTRL+BREAK to Exit.

It is good to repeat Step 3. to verify that the mode was changed successfully.

Step 6.

  1. Disconnect device from USB.

Step 7.

  1. Pair the device. (See How to Pair USB device)

Step 8.

  1. Run CyKIT.py as normal, verifying your data mode was successful.
    C:\CyKIT-master\py3> C:\python34x32\python.exe .\CyKIT.py 127.0.0.1 54123 6 outputdata
    Use the outputdata config option, to verify the counter is going from 0-127 or 0-255
    according to the mode that was selected.
Note: EPOC+ Consumer in 128/256hz modes, the keymodel to use will be 6.  
      EPOC+ Consumer, in the old 14-bit EPOC mode, will use keymodel 7.
