2. Hardware and Software Installation
Installing Sound Blaster-compatible hardware
WaveDisk requires a Sound Blaster-compatible sound card, external USB sound card unit, or
the sound chip built into most notebook computers. The necessary drivers are usually
supplied with the card or pre-installed in the computer. No card configuration is normally
necessary.
Installing WaveDisk
After installing your Sound Blaster-compatible sound card (if not already installed), follow

directory c:\Program Files\Engineering Design\Signal 4.0. If you have installed SIGNAL in
a different directory, unzip into a temp directory and manually copy the files to your

2.
Open the disk in Windows Explorer and launch the file (by double-clicking on it)
