Enabler Command Line Options
To configure a DAQP series card, the Enabler requires one command line argument from the
user to determine the configuration. This argument must be enclosed in parenthesis. Within
the argument, a comma (no space) must be used to separate the parameters from each other if
there are two or more parameters. The following parameters may be specified in the
command line argument:
s socket Specifies the PCMCIA socket number to configure. “Socket” must be in the
range 0 - 15. This option is always required.
b address Specifies the base I/O address of the DAQP card in hexadecimal. “Address
must reside on an even 8-byte boundary (“address” must end in 0 or 8). This
option is required if the “r” option is not used.
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 is
desired. This option is required if the “r” option is not used.
w address Specifies the base address of the memory window required to configure the
DAQP card. Set “address= D0 for a memory window at D0000, D8 for a
memory window at D8000, etc. Valid settings for address are C8, CC, D0, D4,
D8, and DC. If omitted, “address” = D0 is assumed.
r Instructs the Enabler to release the resources previously allocated to the DAQP
card. When this option is used, B address and I irq options will be ignored.
Therefore, do NOT use this option when initially configuring the DAQP card.
2.4.2.2 Enabler Examples
Example 1 DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_EN.EXE
No command line argument is specified. The Enabler will report an error and display the
proper usage of the Enabler.
Example 2 DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_EN.EXE (s0,b300,i5)
In this example, the Enabler will configure the DAQP card in socket 0 with a base address
300H and IRQ level 5 using a configuration memory window at D0000H.
Example 3 DEVICE = C:\DAQPA_EN.EXE (i10,b310,s1)
In example 3, the Enabler will configure the DAQP card in socket 1 with a base address at
310H and IRQ level 10 using a configuration memory window at D0000H. Note the parameter
order is not significant.
