24-bit integer

Every controller timing board contains a 24-bit word known as the Controller Configuration. The bits of this word determine what hardware options are available. These options are ONLY available after a timing board file (.lod) or application has been downloaded on the controller. Although the timing board is responsible for the controller configuration word, some of the parameter commands may go to the utility board.

The user application reads the controller configuration word by sending an 'RCC' command to the timing board at the end of a controller setup sequence. In Voodoo, a tabbed window is created using the results of the ‘RCC’ command. Each tab pane corresponds to one of the available hardware options and allows parameters to be modified. Modified values are not permanently saved on the timing board EEPROM and will need to be applied every time one of the following occurs:

• Controller power is cycled
• The controller setup is applied
