ADAC LabVIEW VI 8
The ADAC-LVi.CON File
The ADAC-LVi.con board configuration file contains settings that
apply to all ADAC boards currently installed in your system. There is
only one ADAC-LVi.CON file per system and it contains “static”
system-wide configuration information about all the boards and drivers
installed. This file is read during the allocation of an ADAC device
through a LabVIEW application program. When the first device is
allocated by an ADAC VI, the ADAC-LVi.CON file is loaded.
Contents of the Configuration file includes:
• The user defined environment specific string name.
• The path and filename of the ADAC-LVi.INI located in your
Windows top level directory.
• An assigned DAQ board designator number for each installed
board (this is the BoardID number use by ADAC VIs).
• The user defined board string name.
• The actual board model number per the capabilities file.
• Path and filename of the capabilities file for each DAQ board
located in your ...\LabVIEW (6)\ADAC-LVi \BoardName
directory. From the capabilities file, ADAC-LVi knows the type of
the board, and all its available features.
• Path to directory containing board driver, for each unique type of
board located in your ...\LabVIEW (6)\ADAC-LVi directory.
• The name of the ADAC-LVi system VXD or SYS driver.
• I/O or memory base address of each board.
To configure the ADAC-LVi.CON file open it up in NOTEPAD.EXE.
The file consists of two active sections called [Environment] and
[Board0] and a third inactive section [Board1] which has been
commented out with semi-colons. Text within the file describes
changing the settings and adding additional board(s).
