Writing Tables Files
A table file contains all information necessary to run complex ICE signal process applications of many varieties and can be custom tailored for all of the ICE hardware platforms and modules.
Structure
SNAPSET
SNAPSET={ ! Contains defaults

CASE
CASE_XXX={ ! Particular cases

CASE_YYY={
SWITCHES=$CASE/SOME_SWITCH ! Inheritance from case above
}
- Left hand side switches override right ones
- Good practice to use PIC<N>AUTO alias (obtained from ICE AUTO)
- The PIC card is divided between A and B sides, where the A side has
odd numbers and the B even. - A side: Module 1, odd numbered tuners on processor modules - B side: Module 2, even numbered tuners on processor modules
- Auto-start with ACTION=X, where X is the name or unique abbreviation
of the snapper button corresponding to the desired action, e.g., ACTION=mon to bring up snapper and start monitoring
- V6Ms have Tuner Banks using onboard memory
- Switches with SnapApp
- nM> snapapp/use={CARD=PIC1AUTO,PORT=MODULE1}
