A). The Disk Contents:

    If you download the toolkit from our web, please...
      A-1. Create an temp folder, for example: "c:\setup".
      A-2. Run the Disk1.exe to extract the setup programs to
           the temp folder, for example: "c:\setup".
           ( Disk1.exe is an self-extraction file )
      A-3. Copy the related Data?.cab into the temp folder.
           (for example: "c:\setup".)

    If you have the CD-ROM with the board, please refer to the 
    "Readme.txt" file (under the root folder of CD-ROM) to find 
    out the folder that contains the related toolkit .


    |--\README.TXT       <-- This file.
    |
    |--\SETUP            <-- sub-directory
        |--\Setup.exe    <-- the Setup program


B). Installation Steps

    B-1. Insert disc into CD-ROM drive ( D: or ... ).
    B-2. clicking Start/Run in the task Bar.
    B-3. enter the path and file name to run it. 
         (Install from the CD-ROM or the temp folder that you 
          download and save the files into.)

    (Note: You also can follows the MENU to install the software
           if your system supports Auto-Run mechanism.)

    B-4. Following those instructions in installation process 
         to complete it.

    B-5. Shutdown your system.
    B-6. Plug the data-acquisition board into your system.
    B-7. Start your system.




C) After installed, 

    After installed, the DIO.DLL and NAPDIO.VXD will be copied into
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.

    ( The device driver of DIO and ISO are the same.)


    The item "DAQPro DIO Win95" will be added 
    into the "Add/Remove Programs" (under "Control Panel") 

    
D). After installed, the sub-directoried tree as follows:

   The default [Base Directory] is "\DAQPro\DIO Win95".
