A note on Windows SmartScreen. The current build is not yet code-signed, so Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning. This is expected for small-publisher software. To proceed: click More info → Run anyway. Always verify the SHA-256 above before running. Code-signed releases are on our roadmap.

Getting Started on Windows

  1. Download the Windows portable ZIP using the button above. Python does not need to be installed.
  2. Verify the SHA-256 checksum matches the value shown here.
  3. Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All. Keep the executable and its _internal folder together; do not run the app from inside the ZIP.
  4. Open the extracted BROADSONIC_ReadoutGUI_v2.0.0_Dist folder and run BROADSONIC ReadoutGUI v2.0.0.exe. If SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway.
  5. Connect your BROADSONIC unit via USB, confirm it is connected, and press START. The hardware tour in the Help menu guides you through setup.

Verify in Terminal: shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/BROADSONIC-*.zip

A note on macOS security. The current build is not yet notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks the first launch and reports that it could not verify the app. This is expected. To proceed: try to open the app once and click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Security and click Open Anyway. Always verify the SHA-256 above before running.

Getting Started on macOS

  1. Download the Mac ZIP using the button above. Python does not need to be installed.
  2. Verify the SHA-256 checksum matches the value shown here.
  3. Open the ZIP in Finder to extract it, then drag BROADSONIC ReadoutGUI to your Applications folder.
  4. Open the app. When macOS blocks it, follow the steps in the note above once; macOS remembers your choice.
  5. Connect your BROADSONIC unit via USB, confirm it is connected, and press START. The hardware tour in the Help menu guides you through setup.

System Requirements for macOS

  • OS: macOS 15 (Sequoia) or newer
  • CPU: Apple Silicon (M1 or newer)
  • RAM: 4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended
  • Disk: 600 MB free for the ZIP and extracted app, plus space for recordings
