software installation program.

unused drive.

Windows NT 3.51: Select Run... from the File menu in the Program
Manager.
Windows NT 4.0 or higher: Select Run... from the Start menu.
Type the following command into the dialog box:
x:\setup
where
x
is the letter of the drive containing the distribution disk
(usually
a
or
b
).
The software installation begins with the following screen. Although
the CPCI-GPIB and PMC-GPIB are not listed on this screen, they are
