Installation and Setup 11
Create Your Surface in EuControl Settings
EuControl can be configured to launch automatically upon starting your computer (use the Auto-Launch Apps choices in the Eu-
Control menu). EuControl is responsible for finding, linking, and communicating with all Avid media controllers on the network.
You can use the different tabs in the EuControl Settings window to manage surfaces, pair surfaces with tablets, connect to work-
stations, and more.
First Time Startup
The first time your computer starts up after installing EuControl software you will be guided through the initial configuration steps.
Check Firmware
A dialog appears reminding you to check and update firmware on hardware units. Click OK to proceed.
Create Surface
Next, the Create Surface dialog is shown that describes how to configure your surface arrangement in EuControl
Settings. Click
OK to proceed to the Surfaces tab in EuControl Settings.
You can also access EuControl Settings at any time.
To open the EuControl Settings window:
1 Do following:
• On macOS, click the EuControl icon on the taskbar and select
EuControl Settings.
• On Windows, double-click the EuControl icon in the system tray and select
EuControl Settings. If you don't see the EuCo-
ntrol icon, it could be automatically hidden by Windows. Click on the small white arrow to show hidden icons, then dou-
ble-click the EuControl icon.
2 Go to the Surfaces tab to manage connected (attached) controllers.
Using the Surfaces Tab to Add and Manage Controllers
After installing EuControl for the first time, or whenever you need to manage controllers, use the Surfaces tab to add and arrange
control surfaces and/or Avid Control tablets.
To connect a single controller to EuControl:

The controller appears in the
Surface or Master Tablet column in My Surfaces.
The controller is now communicating with EuControl software.
