Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP Installation
Insert the PowerDAQ SDK CD supplied with your DIO board. The
installation program should run automatically. If you have this feature
disabled on you computer, please, run the SETUP.exe
program from
the CD. The setup program will take you through the installation
process. If you downloaded the PowerDAQ SDK software from the
web you just need to run the file downloaded and follow the setup
instructions.
As the installation process modifies your Windows registry, you must
only install or uninstall the software using the appropriate programs.
