Appendix A - Software Configuration Using CONFIG_C

NOTE: This program modifies a system disk. Do NOT make these
changes to the original system disk sent by Adept. Instead, make changes
to a working copy of the system disk that you have transferred to the
hard drive or to a duplicate floppy made using Adept’s DISKCOPY
Utility.
Figure A-1 shows a graphical interpretation of the primary functions of the CONFIG_C
program. In this example, we assume the user wants three robots, two using device
module A (for example, an X/Y/Z/Theta module) and one using device module B (for
example, a SCARA robot module). Using the replace or append operations, Module A is
copied twice to the boot disk, and module B is copied once. The robot selection procedure
allows the desired modules to be selected and any undesired ones to be ignored.
