For Unix based systems, modify the MacroView start script defined in the $MACRODIR/../system directory to include the driver in the standard startup. Multiple instances of the symax driver can be run concurrently as long as each driver instance is:
| • | run on a different Symax ethernet network OR |
| • | assigned a unique Symax drop number on that ethernet network |
An example of a symax start line is shown below. The command line parameters in the example can be augmented by any of the other parameters listed in the Command Line Parameters section.
cd $MACRODIR
../bin/symax SQD -device eth0 -debug -logfile ../logs/symax.log > /dev/null &
Notes:
| • | The driver must be started in a valid MACRODIR directory to access the configuration files. |
| • | The symax driver requires that the ethernet device used for communications is specified on the command line. |
| • | The data source name associated with the driver is specified as the first parameter. |
| • | To assist in engineering support, it is suggested that debugging information is active and is sent to a log file with a unique file name. |
| • | The driver executable is typically placed in the $MACRODIR/../bin directory. |
| • | Redirect all output of the driver to the null device so that your console does not have any driver log text sent to it. |
