- Lab Location, or Serial Numbers of the devices

- Any settings or configurations that are custom to Ithaca College -- or preferred for your use in class -- if applicable (default save locations, etc.)
- Any default settings for when the program launches
If the software is free
Please provide all relevant information, including the following:
- Platform (Windows or macOS)
- Software Version
- Lab Location, or Serial Numbers of the devices
