BRIEF OVERVIEW ---

The above files should all be located in the same directory.  

m141_95 shows two modes of operation: polled and scanning. In polled mode
individual readings are taken on command. In scanning mode, a pre-defined
group of channels are scanned at a preset interval.

Scan timing is achieved by using the function GetTickCount(), which has a
resolution of 1 millisecond. Timing accuracy in general should fall within a
few milliseconds.
	The timing precision obtainable in any particular case will depend on 
the percentage of resources given to the Model 141 code and the number 
and nature of other concurrent tasks. Disk access, for example, will 
normally take priority over data acquisition.
