The eProSim programme is a set of simulations designed to achieve complementary learning goals in the context of real-time experiments. The simulations are an integral part of the courses and need to be installed on the local PC under Windows environment.

The programme has a special feature that enables simple translation to practically any language. Everything that is needed for translation is ASCII text editor (such as MS Notepad) and Rich Text Format (rtf) word processor (such as MS Word). Downloading and installing the English version, one can translate the programme easily following the translation instructions found in translation-en.rtf file.

After installing the programme on a local PC, this icon appearing in ComLab courses runs eProSim software opening files comprising proper settings for a particular simulation.

The programme is available on the ComLab website under the Download section on the 'freeware' basis.
