1. Introduction
================
Installation:
InstaCal is a comprehensive software program that manages everything
about your data acquisition hardware. When you plug in your Measurement
Computing Hardware, InstaCal detects the hardware and assigns resources
automatically. You may set special features of the hardware so your software
programs will run as you wish. All the settings are stored in the
Measurement Computing configuration file.
Calibration:
Once your board is installed, you may want to check calibration.
InstaCal walks you through a professional calibration procedure tailored
to the board you own.
Test:
InstaCal will test the board both internally and externally giving you
complete confidence in the board's operation. If a problem is found,
it is clearly identified which will speed a complete repair.
