Concept2 Utility and Microsoft Surface Pro 4

Post by eaglejackson » November 30th, 2015, 1:53 pm

I have a Model E and updated my Mac to El Capitan, only to find the Athena card reader doesn't work with El Cap. I was in need of a new laptop and know that Microsoft takes much more care in ensuring compatibility than Apple, so I bought a Surface Pro 4.

The good news is that the Concept2 utility does connect with the Athena card reader.

The bad news is that the Concept2 utility creates a window that it displays into that is too small and the text is all squished together. The window is not resizeable. I've tried changing the display resolution but the utility still shows the same. Any suggestions? A bug fix available? Please see that attached file for a screen shot.

(PS. I took the screenshot without the Athena attached. It does attach, though the screens are not very readable or usable.)

I don't like the 6.97 utility so I stayed with the 6.53 utility.

Look for an older version, especially if you have a PM3 or a PM4.

Had nothing but problems with 6.97 and all I needed it for was firmware updating the monitors.
