	Installing the SDDS Setup Software From an External Disk:

		1. Insert the SDDS Setup software installation disk into the
		   source drive.
		2. Start Windows
		3. Click the START button icon (located in the lower left corner 
                   of the display) and select RUN from the pop-up menu.
		4. At the RUN prompt, enter a:\install or [x]:\install (where [x]
		   is the source drive letter) depending on which drive the disk
                   is inserted.
		5. Follow the installation directions.

	Installing the SDDS Setup Software From a Folder on the Hard Disk:

		1. Create a temporary installation directory (Folder) on your
		   hard disk using your file management program (My Computer,
		   Windows Explorer, etc.)  NOTE: This directory should NOT be 
		   the same place where you intend to install the SDDS Setup 
		   software permanently.
		2. Copy or download the self-extracting SDDS Setup software
		   file into the temporary installation directory (Folder)
		   which you have just created in Step 1.
		3. Extract the SDDS Setup software installation files into the
		   temporary directory (folder) by double-clicking on the file
		   in the temporary directory. This will extract the following
		   9 installation files in the temporary directory:
			
				BC453RTL.DLL
				COMMLIB.DL_
				HELPEX32.EX_
				INSTALL.EXE
				README.TXT
				SCPCLIB.DL_
				SDDS.HL_ 
				SDDS.INI 
				SDDS2000.EX_

		4. Run the file "install.exe" by double clicking on it in your
                   file management window.
		5. Follow the installation directions, making sure NOT to install
                   the program into the same temporary directory (Folder) where 
		   the installation files listed above currently are.

	The installation procedure will install 10 files in the new program 
	directory specified by the user:

		SDDS2000.EXE - the SDDS executable
		SDDS.INI     - the SDDS windows startup file
		SDDS.HLP     - the SDDS help file
		SDDS.GID     - the SDDS GID file
		BC453RTL.DLL - support library for the SDDS Setup software
		COMMLIB.DLL  - support library for the SDDS Setup software
		SCPCLIB.DLL  - support library for the SDDS Setup software
		INSTALL.EXE  - the install/de-install executable
		HELPEX32.EXE - the SDDS help executable
		README.TXT   - this file

	The installation procedure will also install a SDDS program group in 
	the Program Manager.

	---------------------------------
	Changes since Version 2.00
	---------------------------------

	Fixed bug that prevented version 2.00 from connecting to DFP-D2000 
        systems with firmware versions 1.10 or 1.30T.

        Fixed bug which caused an "ini file corrupt" message at the first
        launch of the software after installation.

	---------------------------------
	Changes since Version 1.704
	---------------------------------

	Windows 2000/XP Support

	The SDDS Setup Software now supports Windows 2000 and Windows XP.  

	---------------------------------
	Changes since Version 1.54d
	---------------------------------

	Windows 98 Support

	The SDDS Setup Software now supports Windows 98.  Prior releases of the
	software exhibited unpredictable behavior such as changing display colors
	and cropped dialog boxes.  These problems have been corrected in this
	release.

	Automatic Test Signal Routing from Channel to Channel

	Test signals (i.e., pink noise, 1KHz tone, etc.) can now be routed from
	channel to channel automatically.   The length of time a signal is active
	in a particular channel is user defined (from 1 second to 30 seconds).  
	During the transition from one channel to the next channel, a one second 
	delay is introduced to allow signal oscillations in the room to quiet down 
	prior to routing the signal to the next channel.

        -----------------------------------------
	Changes since Version 1.70, Build 1.701
	-----------------------------------------

	-----------------------------------------
	Changes since Version 1.70, Build 1.702
	-----------------------------------------

	Fixed bug in serial protocol logic which prevented serial connections
