Note: The /B and the /I parameters must be present in the command line. If these parameters are

not present, the Enabler cannot properly configure the Daq PC-Card.

The Enabler (CDQ_EN.EXE) will process the command line parameters from left-to-right. When using
this command, remember that the /B (Base Address) and /I (IRQ) must always be specified. However,
when releasing the Daq PC-Card resource /R, they are not required.

Example 1: CDQ_EN /B300 /I5

This example will configure the Daq PC-Card located in Socket 0 with a Base Address of 300H and
Interrupt Level (IRQ) of 5. The Daq PC-Card must be in Socket 0 when this command is performed.

Example 2: CDQ_EN /R1

This example will release the Daq PC-Card located in Socket 1. The resources are now available to other
devices. It is not necessary to specify the Base Address or the Interrupt Level. The Daq PC-Card must be
in Socket 1 when this command is performed

Example 3: CDQ_EN /B300 /I5

CDQ_EN /S1 /B330 /I3

This example will configure the Daq PC-Card located in Socket 0 with a Base Address of 300H and
Interrupt Level (IRQ) of 5. It will also configure a Daq PC-Card in Socket 1 with a Base Address of 330H
and Interrupt Level (IRQ) of 3. There must be Daq PC-Card in Socket 0 and in Socket 1 when these
commands are performed.
