Software 

 

Software used with B&B Electronics’ SDAXX, SPDA and ADIO12 

modules to control the TCDA module is included with the TCDA.  
This software is very similar to the software included with the 
SDAXX, SPDA and ADIO12 module but with some minor 
modifications. 
 
 

To install the software in your PC: 
1.   Place the disk in drive A. 
2.   Type A: and press the <ENTER> key. 
3.   Type INSTALL and press the <ENTER> key. 
4.   Follow the instructions given by the program.
