3. TESTPOINT BOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
The ADAC Config software is used to configure the ADAC-TP.con and ADAC-TP.INI files with the
proper setting for each particular board type.
Launch the AdacConfig.exe software, and select File > Open, and then browse to your Windows directory
and select the ADAC-TP.con file.
Select Settings > Configuration. The ADAC Board Configurations window will appear, settings should be
as follows:
[Environment]
Environment String =TestPoint
BoardIniFile=c:\windows\adac-tp.ini
Autoload=NO
Click on the + sign to the left of the board icon to expand the board’s “configuration tree”. Below is an
example of proper settings for a PCI-5501MF-0 or PCI-5501MF-V board:
[Board0]
Board ID=0
Board String= User Defined, not used by Testpoint
Board Name=Pci5501MF
Board Caps File=c:\Adac\AdacConfig\Boards\Pci5501MF.cap
Device Driver Path= c:\Adac\AdacConfig\Boards\
Device System Driver=\\.\aPci55xxDevice0.
Select Settings > Initialization. Click on the + sign to the left of the board icon to expand the board’s
“setting tree”.
The sections listed below specify individual subsystem component configurations used by the ADAC
drivers. The only settings that should be changed are those specified in the following section of this
manual. Changing the default settings as configured by the ADAC config program randomly may cause the
ADAC driver to fail when running in testpoint.
