AN-X-TI-MAS
November 2011
Begin a base definition with a line that consists of the keyword Base,
followed by an equals sign and then the base number, from 1 to 15.
There should be no spaces before or after the equals sign.
Example:
Base=1
End the base definition with a line with just the keyword EndBase.
Between the Base and EndBase lines, enter the slot definitions for the
base. They consist of the keyword Slot, followed by an equals sign and
the slot number, a comma, then the keyword Type, an equals sign, and
the module type. There should be no spaces before or after the equals
signs.
Examples:
Slot=4,Type=8X
Slot=7,Type=4WY
Refer to page 64 for a list of supported module types.
