The Platform/Device Manager of ControlDesk Next Generation
handles the boards by detecting their type (DS1005, DS1103,
DS1104, MicroAutoBox via DS815, DS817, DS819, or DS821) and
their actual I/O address. For plug & play boards, the actual I/O address
is dynamically assigned by the PC BIOS or the plug & play
components of the operating system. If you add hardware
components to your host PC or remove them from it, or enable or
disable motherboard components, the PC's BIOS and/or the operating
system's plug & play components assign new resources such as I/O
addresses to all plug & play components, including dSPACE boards in
plug & play mode.
ControlDesk Next Generation To avoid the problem described
above, select the Assign to identical platform assignment mode when
you configure the related platform in ControlDesk Next Generation.
This lets you specify the serial number of the platform hardware.
ControlDesk Next Generation assigns the platform to registered
dSPACE hardware with a particular serial number, according to the
specified connection type. You must specify the serial number of the
platform hardware. Optionally you can also specify the Port address
as a hexadecimal number.
Refer to Assignment Properties ( ControlDesk Next Generation
Reference).
