4.6 Prior to Starting the AdeptModules
Software Configuration
The AdeptModules Interface allows control of various modules, configurations using the
V
+
language. In order for V
+
to control these configurations, it must know the number and
types of the AdeptModules in the system, and the values of parameters that describe each
configuration. This information is stored on the system disk so that a configured system
will start up ready for action. This section describes for configuring the AdeptModules
system.
It is assumed throughout the software sections of this Instruction Handbook that the user
has a working knowledge of the V
+
language and operating system. Specific information
about V
+
can be found in the V
+
Operating System User’s Guide and the V
+
Operating System
Reference Guide
Adept Utility Disk
The Adept Utility Disk contains two program packages for customizing a system disk for
a particular AdeptModules system. The utility disk also contains the subdirectory
