before running SETUP program, execute Io-irq to designate I/O address
and IRQ.
2. Choose "C102/C104/C168 Series Multiport Board" in the "DRIVER
SELECTION" dialog and then enter or modify each port's configuration which
are the port initial value when driver is loaded.
3. Use F8 function to load the on-board configuration for Smartio C104/C168
Family. Use other functions to modify settings if necessary. Finally remember to
use F10 function to save the configuration.
Some noticeable functions keys and fields are explained below.
Press F1: "Help" to learn an up-to-date instructions.
Press F3: "Add port" to add one port entry and modify the settings if necessary.
Press F4: "Delete port" to delete the port entry where the cursor stops.
Press F5: "Group edit" to set the selected ports (as a group) to the same settings.
Press F6: "INT vector" to specify the interrupt vector I/O address and set the
status for each port. Interrupt-driven scheme is applied for those ports
using interrupt vector while polling scheme for those ports not using
interrupt vector. The former is more efficient and has better
performance in terms of driver. In addition, for two C104 boards in a
system, two separate interrupt vectors are required which can be
accomplished with F3: Toggle one/two INT vector.
Press F8: "Load config" to load the hardware configuration set by Io-irq.exe.
This is the most convenient way of configuration, comparing to add
port one by one with function F3.
Port number: This is actually the port ID of each port. The application
software will refer to the port by its port number (ID).
Duplicated port number is not allowed.
Base I/O address: The I/O address of each port. Overlapped or duplicated
I/O address is not allowed.
