2.4.1.1 Client Driver Command Line Options
The DAQP series Client Driver accepts up to eight command line arguments from the user to determine the configuration of the DAQP card. If any arguments are provided, the Client Driver will attempt to configure any DAQP card with the options specified in the order they are entered on the command line. Each argument must be enclosed in parenthesis and must be separated from other arguments by a space in the command line. Inside an argument, a comma (no space) should be used to separate the parameters from each other if there are two or more parameters. Within each argument, any or all of the following parameters may be specified:
b | address | Specifies the base I/O address of the DAQP card in hexadecimal. “Address” |
|
| must be in the range 100H - 3F8H and must reside on an even |
|
| (“address” must end in 0 or 8). If this option is omitted, a base address will be |
|
| assigned by Card and Socket Services software. |
i | irq | Specifies the interrupt level (IRQ) of the DAQP card in hexadecimal. “Irq” must |
|
| be one of the following values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 or 0 if no IRQ if |
|
| desired. If this option is omitted, an interrupt level will be assigned by Card |
|
| and Socket Services software. |
s | socket | Specifies the PCMCIA socket number to configure. “Socket” must be in the |
|
| range 0 - 15. If this option is omitted, the configuration argument will be applied |
|
| to any available DAQP card inserted into any socket in the system. |
2.4.1.2 Client Driver Installation Examples
With the Client Driver, the user may specify a list of selections (in the form of command line arguments) for the configuration of the DAQP series cards. The Client Driver scans this list from left to right until it finds a selection that is currently available in the system. If none of the preferred selections are available, the Client Driver requests a configuration from Card and Socket Services software.
Example 1 | DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_CL.SYS |
In example 1, no command line arguments are specified. The Client Driver will configure the DAQP card into ANY socket with a base address and IRQ level assigned by Card and Socket Services.
Example 2 | DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_CL.SYS (b300) |
In this example, a single command line argument is provided. The Client Driver will attempt to configure a DAQP card inserted into ANY socket with a base address of 300H and an IRQ level assigned by Card and Socket Services. If the base address 300H is not available, the DAQP card will NOT be configured.
