2. Insert the Software CD into the CD drive.

• If the program does not auto-start, browse to your CD drive, click Setup.exe, then select START, then select

RUN. The Welcome dialog box displays. Select Next, and follow the prompts in the dialog boxes as they appear.

• If the program does auto-start, the Welcome dialog box appears. Select Next, and follow the prompts in the

dialog boxes as they appear.

3. The installation program decompresses the files. A status dialog box monitors the progress of the installation.
4. An Installation Completed dialog box appears. Select OK.
5. Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.

After the software is installed, a MINI-ARRAY shortcut icon is placed on your desktop. Double-click the MINI-
ARRAY icon to launch the program, then follow the configuration instructions.
