Software – Expert Controller Plus

Overview

Expert Controller Plus will provide all the capabilities of Expert Controller but will also support multiple simultaneous amplifier connections and include support for all SPE Expert amplifiers including the original Expert 1k-fa.

Expert Controller Plus is currently in development (Alpha test) with a test version available for download. Drop me a message if you would like get involved with testing. I’ll be updating the ‘News‘ section of this website as the application progresses and its Support page has a progress tracker with key milestones/events.

Description

Expert Controller Plus provides the capability to remotely manage the configuration and control of multiple connected SPE Expert 1k-FA, 1.3k-FA, 1.5k-FA, 1.5k-Taurus or 2k-FA RF amplifiers using a USB, RS-232 or TCP/IP interface.

Expert Controller Plus is a complete redesign of the successful Expert Controller application with a focus on managing multiple simultaneous amplifier connections whilst retaining much of the ‘look and feel’ of Expert Controller and of amplifier. Key capabilities such as Accessibility have been retained and enhanced to further improve usability and there is now a dedicated window to request an audible report for a selected amplifier connection. The ‘original’ window presenting the LCD display and buttons has been retained but new more compact windows contain only LED’s, only Buttons and only the LCD are also available for those who prefer a more minimalistic view of their amplifiers. The ability to ‘float’ a window above other macOS windows has also been extended to the ‘spoken’ Announce window and all windows that present a view of the amplifier.
