9. ENVIRONMENT CONFIGURATIONS
Each time the ADLIB library is to be used, the Environment configuration must be loaded and when all
devices have been released the Environment must be released. The AL_LoadEnvironment function loads
the information specified in the configuration file (.CON) that specifies the path to the initialization file
(.INI) and the boards installed in the system. Both (.CON) and (.INI) files are created with ADACCONFIG
utility.
