Section 0.  Known Bugs and How to Avoid Them.

We're working hard to find and eliminate all the bugs in this
software.  However, as of this release we still have a few tough
bugs for which we have not found complete solutions.  The
following list details these bugs and offers recovery and work-
around methods:

1.  Use GPIB Unlisten and Untalk

Symptom:	The LBA-PC capture rate runs very slowly when
		the LBA-PC is addressed to listen (i.e. after
		writing from the host to the LBA-PC).  Under
		Windows NT the capture rate may slow as much as
		10X.  Under Windows 95 the capture rate may slow
		as much as 2X.

Recovery:	This problem occurs because the LBA-PC
		continues to be addressed to listen after the host
		has finished writing to the LBA-PC.  To fix
		this problem you must unaddress the LBA-PC
		after communication is complete.  We suggest that
		you immediately unaddress the LBA-PC after
		every read or write operation.

Section 1.  Errata

A PDF version of the Operator's Manual is now included with the
installation.  You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to
view this file.  You can install Adobe Acrobat Reader from the
\Acrobat Reader\ directory on the installation CD.

Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP you must have administrative privileges
to install Lba-PC.

Note that the remote example LabView VI's were created and
tested using LabView 6i.  If you are using LabView 7 or
later then you must translate the example VI's before they
can be used.

Section 2.  Notes on Installing and Uninstalling LBA-PC

Under Windows 2000 and XP you must have Administrator privileges
to install Lba-PC.

***When you Installed LBA-PC it did the following:
Note: If you changed the drive or paths from the installation
	defaults, then the following paths must be revised per
	those changes.

In c:\winnt\system32\ (Windows XP)
or c:\winnt\system32\ (Windows 2000)
	the files hdk3an32.dll and hdk3ct32.dll will be added.

The following directory structure was created:
   c:\spiricon\lbapc      .exe, .cfg, .dll file types
	|_\camera\   <camera>.cam default directory
	|_\data\     <file>.lb3,.rlg,.bmp,.gai,.spa,.cma  default
	|_\help\     HELP directory
	|_\labview\  LabView examples


***If you run the Uninstall LBA-PC it will...
	1. Remove only the files that the Installation program 
	added to your PC.

	2a. Display the message "Uninstall completed successfully"
	if all of LBA-PC is completely removed.

	2b. Display the message "Uninstall completed.  Some 
	elements could not be removed.  You should manually 
	remove items related to the application." if unrecognized
	files were not removed.

	If while running the LBA-PC application, you added
	.lb3,.rlg,.bmp,.gai,.spa,.cma files, to any of the
	LBA-PC directories, then those files and directories
	will not be deleted by the Uninstall program.  You must
	delete these files manually then remove directories
	and sub-directories related to LBA-PC.
