• The first uncommented line of the file indicates the version of the IRIS support software
that was last used to machine–generate the file.
This is an information-only field for traceability purposes and is not edited. For
example:
# splConfig.sVersion = "7.32"
On the TTL connectors (J1, J2, J4, J5, J7), each connector must be exclusively used for
INPUT (s vars) or OUTPUT (c vars). You cannot mix these on an individual connector.
