The Measurement Studio for Visual Studio 2003/2005 Measurement Computing
Edition Driver CD provides installers for the Universal Library and
GPIB 488.2 .NET Class Libraries and hardware drivers.
InstaCal and Universal Library
--------------------------------
Measurement Studio Measurement Computing Edition includes the Measurement Computing
Universal Library (UL) .NET class library, which is available with installation of
the Measurement Computing Mcc Daq driver.
Implemented through the MccDaq namespace, this programming library provides classes
that contain over 120 methods that perform analog signal measurement, analog signal
generation, data logging, digital I/O, counting and timing, and temperature measurement
operations with Measurement Computing data acquisition (DAQ) devices.
InstaCal is an easy to use installation, calibration and test program that helps minimize
the time between set up and actually making measurements
MCC DAQ Scan Components
--------------------------------
Measurement Studio Measurement Computing Edition includes the Mcc Daq Scan Components .NET class library,
which is available with installation of the Measurement Computing Mcc Daq driver. This library
includes the AIScan component and AOScan component. These components simplify data processing
for scanning operations in the following ways:
The AIScan component reads a specified number of analog input samples at the user-specified
sampling rate and range of analog input channels on a Measurement Computing device.
The AOScan component updates a range of analog output samples at the user-specified update
rate and range of analog output channels on a Measurement Computing device.
GPIB 488.2 Class Library
--------------------------------
Measurement Studio Measurement Computing Edition includes the MCC-488.2 .NET class library,
which is available with installation of the Measurement Computing MCC-488.2 driver.
This class library contains the following classes:
A board class to communicate with Measurement Computing GPIB controllers and boards.

7. Click "Install".
8. The installation will now install the files to the destination directory.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 to install the GPIB library. The default directory is c:\GPIB_32.
10. At the end of the installation, you will be prompted to reboot the computer.
11. It is recommended that you power down, install your data acquisition hardware and reboot.
If you wish to install Hardware User Guide's onto your system, you can run the
