Peter do you mean for instance the 7i76 could have different components depending on something like dip switches on the board?
While I'd like PNCconf to read live systems ( and I think Andy is thinking on a mechanism) most things are predictable.
Of course it requires the user to select the right answers, which is unpredictable - but that is no worse then someone hand writing a HAL file.

For the 5i25 the user must know what firmware the board was programmed for and pick that firmware in PNCconf.
Then the user must pick the right sserial daughterboard in the right sserial channel.
then what choices are there in the sserial daughter board?

Do you see one 5i25 firmware / daughter board choice that will be heads above more popular?

The 7I76 can have different HAL pins depending on mode (user settable) and firmware version. Also you can connect an external SSERIAL card to the 7I76 and that card has the same possibilities, though it will show up as a a SSERIAL device
under the main FPGA card.

Only the older SSERIAL cards like the 8I20 and 7I64 have fixed pins, all new cards have modes and new modes with new pins may be added.

cncbasher OFFLINE Moderator Posts: 760 Thank you received: 35 Karma: 53	how about adding in a copy configuration , or backup to file yes i know we can all use the keyboard but once you have a known good configuration , it would be helpful to know you have it all backed up or can copy to a new config for further modification including all the hidden files

cmorley OFFLINE Moderator Posts: 1518 Thank you received: 41 Karma: 89	actually all you need to do is load the config that you want to copy in pncconf and change the config name on the basic page and then run to the end. It will save the config with the name you picked.
