SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
Exit all programs on the computer. Insert the V&P Scientific/Animatics CD into the drive.
Installation of the Animatics control program should start automatically. If the program fails to
automatically launch, then browse to your CD-ROM drive and double click on Setup.exe. Once

control program. Sample programs are also available in this folder.
