The tool can be found in the SPAD.neXt installation directory in the subfolder Tools/cdu. It can be run on a remote computer if necessary

• to run display upon load of a profile create a profile loaded event and run the external command "<spad_install_dir>/tools/cdu/RemoteCDUDisplay.exe" or add it to a batch-file

• To run the display on a remote computer copy tools/cdu to target computer, and start "RemoteCDUDisplay.exe -h=ipOfSPAD -p=28001"
