3 WINDOWS 3.X OR DOS INSTALLATION
3.1 INSTALL THE InstaCal SOFTWARE PACKAGE
InstaCal is the installation, calibration and test software supplied with your data acqui-
sition / IO hardware. The complete InstaCal package is also included with the Uni-
versal Library. If you have ordered the Universal Library, use the Universal Library
disk set to install Instacal. The installation will create all required files and unpack the
various pieces of compressed software. To install InstaCal, simply run setup.exe, and
follow the on-screen instructions.
3.1.1 INSTALLATION OPTIONS
If you are installing from the Universal Library disk set, the "Installation Options" dia-
log box presents options to install libraries and example programs for each language
supported. Select the appropriate library version and example programs for the lan-
guage you will be using.
If your computer does not have the Windows operating system installed (only the
DOS operating system is available), install the separate DOS-only InstaCal package
called "InstaCal for DOS, Universal Library for DOS" available from your vendor.
Computers running Windows 3.x and/or DOS need to use the DOS based Card &
Socket Services (CSS) drivers. CSS is included with most newer computers, but if
you need to purchase these drivers, they are available from your vendor (order PCM
CSS). During the InstaCal installation, you will be prompted to indicate whether or
not to install CBCLIENT. Respond "Yes." CBCLIENT is used by CSS to configure
the PCMCIA data acquisition cards. Remember, if you do not have CSS loaded,
install it before attempting to use the PCMCIA card. More information about CSS is
available in section 3.5 titled "About DOS Card & Socket Services."
InstaCal will place all appropriate files in "C:\CB." If you change this default location
remember where the installed files are placed as you may need to access them later.
At the end of the installation process there will be a series of questions: unless you
have knowledge to the contrary, simply accept the default when prompted.
After the installation of InstaCal is complete you should restart your computer to take
advantage of changes made to the system.
