Distributing InstaCal in addition to your custom UL application
If you create an application using the Universal Library, you may distribute the necessary runtime files
(Universal Library driver files) with the application royalty free. These files can be installed from
Measurement Computing's InstaCal installation package. To distribute a custom UL application, provide the
end user with two CDs or disks:
 One CD or disk that contains Measurement Computing's InstaCal application. InstaCal must be installed
before the custom UL application.
 One CD or disk that contains the setup program for their custom VB or C++ application.
You may not distribute any files that give the end user the ability to develop applications using the Universal
Library.
Integrating InstaCal into your custom UL installation CD or disk
For developers who wish to distribute their application on one CD, refer to the Universal Library
Redistribution Guide. This document contains procedures to merge the setup programs for both InstaCal and
the custom UL application into one setup program that you can distribute on one CD or disk. The merging
process is complicated — only experienced programmers should attempt to do this.
When you install the software, the Universal Library Redistribution Guide (ULRedistribution.pdf) is copied
to the default installation directory "C:\Program Files\Measurement Computing\DAQ\Documents" on your
local drive.
