Subject: maximum number of BIOs 

 { Joe and Kiwamu },

 Now we  are able to compile the model file with more than 4 binary input/outputs (BIOs).

 As I wrote in a past entry (see here), the number of the BIOs was limited to 4, which is not enough for us.

 

  We modified a header file called "cdsHardware.h"  in order to allow model files having more than four BIOs.

The header file lives under /cvs/cds/caltech/advLigoRTS/src/include/drv/.

There was a sentence defining the maximum number in the file:

 #define MAX_DIO_MODULES         4.

We changed this to

 #define MAX_DIO_MODULES         8.
