Example 3
DEVICE =
C:\DAQPA_CL.SYS
(s0,b300,i5)
Example 3 is also a single command line argument. The client Driver will attempt to configure
the DAQP card inserted in socket 0 at base address 300H and IRQ level 5. If either address
300H or IRQ level 5 is unavailable, the card will NOT be configured. In addition, the Client
Driver will NOT configure any DAQP card inserted into any socket except socket 0.
Example 4 DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_CL.SYS (b300,i5) (i10) ( )
Three command line arguments are provided in this example. The Client Driver will first
attempt to configure a DAQP card inserted into any socket with a base address 300H and IRQ
level 5. If either address 300H or IRQ level 5 is unavailable, the Client Driver will proceed to
the second command line argument and attempt to configure the card with a base address
assigned by the Card and Socket Services and IRQ level 10. If IRQ level 10 is also unavailable,
the Client Driver will then go to the third command line argument and attempt to configure it
with a base address and an IRQ level assigned by Card and Socket Services.
Example 5 DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_CL.SYS (b300,i5) ( ) (i10)
The difference between example 5 and example 4 is the order of the second and third
command line arguments. The Client Driver will first attempt to configure a DAQP card
inserted into any socket with a base address 300H and IRQ level 5. If either address 300H or
IRQ level 5 is unavailable, the Client Driver will proceed to the second command line
argument and attempt to configure the card with a base address and IRQ level assigned by
Card and Socket Services. Since the second command line argument includes all available
address and IRQ resources, the third command line argument will never be reached by the
Client Driver. The user must ensure command line arguments are placed in a logical order.
Example 6 DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_CL.SYS (s0,b300,i5) (s1,b310,i10)
There are two command line arguments in example 6, which is desirable in systems where
two or more DAQP cards are to be installed. The Client Driver will attempt to configure the
DAQP card in socket 0 with base address 300H and IRQ 5. If there is a DAQP card in socket 1,
it will be configured with base address 310H and IRQ 10. This allows the user to force the card
address and IRQ settings to be socket specific as required by software or cable connections. If
the requested resources are not available, the DAQP cards will not be configured.
