Digisim is available free of charges, howerver, you will need to have a dongle (hardware protection) to be able to use it, this costing money.

How much its costs

I have Carlo Nervi's ESP software but that have window compatibility problem can only run on XP, while I have window 7. So wanted to try Digisim.

Any option / suggestion that can continue work without these hurdles?

I follow the link: http://www.basinc.com/products/prices.php?country=usa&title=DigiSim+-+Simulation+Software+for+ElectroChemistry&ref=%2Fproducts%2Fec%2Fdigisim%2Findex.php&search=EF-1663&x=76&y=16, and it shows that it cost $2299.

If you have a colleague who can lend you the usb key, this can help to do some basic work or for training.

I did not try the other software (Carlo Nervi's ESP) and I am afraid I can not help with this issue of comptability. Cheers.

Ok Sir, Thank you for your kind reply and suggestion, I will try sorting it out. Regards

If you don't find Digisim you can use CV Sim in EC-Lab Sotware from Bio-logic SAS, it's free.

Thank you Sir for your guidance @ J. P. Diard

Glad to know :) as It would be helpful

If you want to continue using ESP you could always run Windows XP in a virtual machine - I would recommend VirtualBox, but you could also look at VMware or the Windows XP mode in WIndows 7.

Thank you sir for your guideline @R. Cottis

for using ESP on window 7, 1st I have to install virtual box? and how to install window XP then or use to ESP in virtual box

If you're not experienced with PCs, you may find it easier to install Windows 7 XP Mode, as this is fully supported by Microsoft, and there's lots of information on the Microsoft web site (but it does need Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions).

If you want to use VirtualBox, then you have to install VirtualBox to create a virtual PC, then install Windows XP in the virtual PC, then install ESP in the Windows XP in the virtual PC. It's all described on the VirtualBox web site (www.virtualbox.org).

Thanks a lot Sir, So nice of you I would follow your instructions, hope I ll be able to do it by using virtual box application.

With virtual box, you need to have installation disk of older windows (e.g. windows 98, 2000 or XP). ESP is a MS-DOS program (a great one, no question about it) and it is running nicely in DOSBOX (http://www.dosbox.com/). DOSBOX consumes less space on your harddrive and you don't need to install windows.

Great to know sir, whenever I have to do simulations, I used to facing trouble due to this issue have to use ESP on separate systems since I ve changed my Window in laptop, which is hectic. Thank you for your suggestion @Jan Hrbac

I will try it out

i am sure you will like it. After installation, go to windows start, find dosbox options and

put the following lines (assumes you have the esp in c:\esp folder):

mount c: c:\esp

c:

esp

Then you should start esp by double click.

@ Jan Hrbac: Is dosbox can not be installed for windows 7, 32 bit? Thank you.

Yes, I have it even in Win7 64 bit without problems.

Thank you.

So nice of you sir @ Jan Hrbac

I have installed DOSBOX but what to write there when DOSBOX open

Because that show up already written as follows;

Z:\>

If next to already written text, I write there "Mount:C:C:\esp"

It does not open

saying Illegal command

Kindly guide

or say directory does not exist

If I type "mount c c:\esp"

OK:

firstly, you must have the esp program in the folder (directory) named esp and this folder must be in the root directory of disk C.

Now: close the dosbox program.

click on the the start button of the windows, press all programs and find the dosbox item.

In this item, there is a sub-folder called Options. Open it, there is a file called

Dosbox 0.74. options (the number can be different). Click on it and a file called

Dosbox0.74.conf will open in the Notepad.

Scroll down the file to its very end and there is a text "You can put your MOUNT lines here".

Copy the following lines below this line (with spaces and enters, just as it is here):

mount c: c:\esp

c:

esp

Save the file.

Now open the dosbox, esp should open automatically. If you are unsuccesfull, write me an e-mail ([email protected]). You can also study the manual of the dosbox program if you are.

Thanks so lots, DONE now @Jan Hrbac

Pleasure, Jan
