Below are a collection of protocols which run on Espion software V3 and higher and are designed to ISCEV standards. To install the protocol into the current connected database of your Espion program, download the protocol file and copy onto your console. Next go to the “Database Center” menu within the Espion program and from here press the “Transfer In” button and select the protocol file to import. The protocol will now appear in the current list of protocols available.

| General 3 channel template |
A general template including 3 channels and 3 markers. This can be used as a basis for all new protocols |
protocol.xls |
| ERG with 1 channel template |
Template designed for single channel (sequential recording of two eyes) where every step may have different acquisition, channel and marker parameters |
erg_protocol_1.xls |
| ERG with 2 channels template |
Template designed for double channel simultaneous recording of two eyes) where every step may have different acquisition, channel and marker parameters |
erg_protocol_2.xls |
| VEP with 3 channels template |
Template designed for recording from 3 channels and positioning 3 markers where each step only changes the stimulus parameters. |

| Below are a collection of user defined waveform files for custom control of the ColorDome/ColorBurst stimulators. Files may be edited in any ASCII editor e.g. Microsoft Wordpad or Notepad or a spreadsheet such as Excel. To run any file, download, and copy into the Espion directory. Display the stimulus menu and select the “User Defined” flash mode. Then enter the filename and press the apply button to see the stimulus. |

| ColorDome / ColorBurst |
D125/D213 |
Define a color CIE vector between two CIE end colors and sinusoidally traverse the vector at 1Hz. (This may not work on all systems) |
vector.col |
| Dual ColorDome / ColorBurst |
D125/D213 |
Similar to “vector.col”, but defines a vector between red and green and if dual stimulators selected, the outputs will be 180 degrees out of phase. This is an example using a complex formula rather than explicit ms timing blocks |

| ColorDome / ColorBurst |
D125/D213 |
Example of a very long stimulus. This produces a 10 second sinusoidal red output |

D125/D213 |
Example of user defined variables. This stimulus produces a pulse with variable mark/space timing, intensity and color all of which can be controlled from the stimulus menu |
