2.5 THE
CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
Overview
NOTE:
Before you can run the Configuration Program, you must install the Distribution
Software (Section 2.4).
Your ADC-16 Distribution Software includes the Configuration Program ADC16CFG.EXE
,
whose
purpose is to assist you in setting u p Board parameters and saving them to a new or existing
configuration file. The default configuration file in your Distribution Software is ADCI6.CFG
;
however, the Configuration Program allows you to save a set of parameters to any configuration file
you specify.
A configuration file is a necessary reference for Call Driver programs (Chapters 6 and 7) and for the
Pop Up Control Panel. The file contains information such as the number of ADC-16s in use, Base
Address, Range, Interrupt Level, and the number of STA-EX8s linked to each Board. If you bypass the
configuration program, the Call Driver refers to the ADC16.CFG default file.
