 Data registers must exceed starting registers. This is in the memory map

page that you printed.

 You must assign the PTQ module to a block of processor memory that is not

being used by any other device.

 You can use this simple formula to find a block of memory to use: If the

module consumes 224 words of status data on input, and we know that it can
take up to 768 words of I/O data, the total requirement is 992 words. The
module will take a maximum of this %IW value. For convenience, round the
number up to 1000 as the amount of memory to assign. A value of 5000 for
%MW and %IW is a safe starting point.

 It is not possible to determine if the memory values are correct before

building the project. If the build throws an error about memory addresses, go
back to ProSoft Configuration Builder and change the input and output
properties for the module, then re-import the memory map and try again.
