2 WINDOWS 95, 98 INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALL THE InstaCal SOFTWARE PACKAGE
2.1.1 INTRODUCTION
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.
2.1.2 INSTALLATION OPTIONS
If you are installing on a Windows 95 or 98 operating system, the "Installation
Options" dialog box will allow you to install the 16 bit, the 32 bit or both versions of
InstaCal. Select the 32 bit version unless you intend to use a 16 bit application or
library to control your data acquisition hardware.
If you are installing from the Universal Library disk set, the "Installation Options" dia-
log box also presents options to install example programs for each language
supported. Select the appropriate example programs for the language you will be
using.
2.1.3 FILE DEFAULT LOCATION
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.
2.1.4 INSTALLATION QUESTIONS
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.
2.1.5 INSTALLATION COMPLETION
After the installation of InstaCal is complete you should restart your computer to take
advantage of changes made to the system.
