Some of the Mesa Smart Serial (SSLBP) cards can have variable pinouts depending on operating mode. For example, the 7i76 has mode 0 (digital in, digital out + step.encoder.spindle), Mode 1 (all the above, plus 4 x analog inputs) and mode 2 (all the above, plus the analog inputs, plus the field voltage)
Currently the hal file parameter is sserial_mode0=0123xxxx to configure the cards on port 0, and sserial_mode1=xx21x200 to conffigure port 1 (where "x" disables a card). Unfortunately, the docs say "sserial_modes=" (note the plural). So I need to change one, or both, to be consistent. I would just change the docs, but I have had it pointed out to me that the parameter name is not as clear as it could be and that, for example I could use: sserial0=01234xxxxx sserial_0=01234xxxxx sserial_port0=01234xxxxx sserial_port_0=01234xxxxx Which would be preferred? Or does anyone have a better idea? -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
