ADAC Allocate Device

The VI function allocates and loads a device subsystem into the ADAC-LVi logical
device subsystem database (LDSD). If the ADAC-LVi information file exists (ADAC-
LVi.INI) as specified in the (ADAC-LVi.CON) file, then the LDSD is configured per the
settings specified in the (ADAC-LVi.INI) file. If the ADAC-LVi information file does
NOT exist or a configuration parameter is not indicated within the (ADAC-LVi.INI) file,
the parameter will be set to its associated capabilities file default(s) if available, otherwise
the parameter is set to an ADAC-LVi internal default. See the individual function listing
for its default behavior.

Multiple configurations for the same hardware device subsystem can also be allocated,
but only one can be initialized and started at any given time.
