ADC-16 USER GUIDE
Via a batch file.
Via the SHOW.BAT utility.
With each of these options, the load/unload order must be as follows:
ProDer loadinp - order:
First,
load
VI.EXE
Then, load PADC16.EXE
Prowr unloading. order:
First,
unload
PADC16.EXE
Then, unload VI.EXE
Loading Via AUTOEXEC.BAT
When you load via the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, your driver files load automatically with each computer
boot-up. The files remain active until you unload them or shut down the computer.
Modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include driver-loading instructions in either of two ways, as
follows:
1.
Use a text editor. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT to include
VI
PADC16
Note that using these instructions without switch options gives you default settings (see
Chapter 2 for default settings).
To
change the default settings, use the switch options
described in Section
4.5.
2. Use the ATXSETUP.EXE setup utility (from the Distribution Software) to automatically
install the basic driver-loading instructions in AUTOEXEC.BAT. To use this utility, log to the
directory containing the Distribution Software and
type ADCSETUY
c
Enter >
.
Loading/Unloading From The Command Line
This method allows you to load and unload the driver files on an as-needed basis. You may also
change your switch parameters with each loading. Unfortunately, this method can be tedious,
especially when your entry contains an error. Drivers loaded from the DOS command line may be
unloaded from the command line, or they may be unloaded by rebooting the PC.
Loading/Unloading Via Batch Files
Batch files also allows you to load and unload your driver files on an as-needed basis. However, you
are confined to a single set
of
switch parameters unless you modify your start-up file or you have
additional batch files. You must also use separate batch files for loading and unloading. Use a text
editor to create your batch files, and be sure you insert your instructions in the correct order (refer to
LoadinglUnIoading Order 1.
