Configuration File
The Configuration File has several purposes; most of which are associated with use of the software
drivers provided with your AD12-8 card. These are as follows:
a. Provide means to automatically configure the driver and, thus, avoid need for multiple calls to
the driver to do the setup.
b. Allow the setup programs to do the work of configuring the driver. When you use the setup
programs to assist in configuring the card, this information is saved in the configuration file
and can then be used by the drivers.
The Configuration File, SETUP.CFG, is generated or modified with the setup programs. It can also
be generated or modified by an editor or a word processor in the non-document mode. This file is
a structured file containing setup information for:
a. AD12-8 plug in PC card.
b. AT-16 sub-multiplexer card.
c. LVDT8-P sub-multiplexer card.
d. Programmable gain assignments.
e. Curve assignments.
