Installing E-Stim Commander on a Mac

Commander 3 is the software that allows you to connect an E-Stim Systems 2B to a PC or Mac, and thus allow you to control the 2B from the computer, as well as record and playback 'sessions'.

Although Commander 3 has been developed on a Mac running macOS High Sierra, it should also operate correctly on older versions of macOS. If has also been tested on Windows 10, Windows 7, and should work on Windows 8 and 8.1. We also offer support for Commander 3 on a PC and offer Commander 3 for Linux, although the Linux version is not actively supported at this time.
