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 8-byte boundary
(“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.
