NAME

/usr/pil/etc/hwconfig.cf − This is the SICL configuration file used by the pilconf program. 

DESCRIPTION

Hwconfig.cf, includes one line for each interface card in the system being configured which will be used by the PIL kernel driver for instrument I/O.  Each of these lines will result in the inclusion of a driver for that interface into the kernel for that system. 

FORMAT

The format of the configuration lines is as follows:
     <lu> <symname> <cardname> <location> <card_addr>
 
 
 Where:

<lu> Logical unit number of the card (0<lu<10000).  Each interface card must have a unique logical unit number.  The actual value used is not important, but you must remember this number in order to properly address the card in your application. 

<symname>
A symbolic name for your card.  Each card must have a unique symbolic name.  This name may be used instead of the logical unit number to address an interface.  The default symbolic name for your first HP-IB card should be "hpib".  Possible values for additional HP-IB cards include (but isn’t limited to): "hpib2", "xhpib", etc.

<location> The location of the card.  For EISA/ISA cards, this is the slot number.  For DIO cards, it is the select code.  For s700 internal cards, this field should always be 0 (not used). 

<cardaddr> For HP-IB, this is the bus address of this card.  For VXI, this is the logical address of this card.  For RS-232, this field should always be 0 (not used).
