For  more  information, please  refer  to  chapter  MiCard  Configuration  in  the  uniFLOW User Manual.  Upload & Configure: Uploads  the  configuration  file  to  the  uniFLOW  Release  Station  and  applies  the settings.   8.2.3 Port Configuration   This chapter is only relevant if your uniFLOW Release Station is connected to uniFLOW. If your uniFLOW Release Station is connected to uniFLOW Online, the correct port configuration is automatically downloaded from uniFLOW Online and uploaded to the uniFLOW Release Station. Manually uploading a PORT.ini has no effect. The Port Configuration site allows you to change the DIPORT settings. This is necessary if you use a copy control cable for features such as device lock and copy accounting.
uniFLOW Release Station     17  These can be changed by uploading a certain configuration file (PORT.ini). Please refer to  chapter  Signal  Interpreter  (on  page  17)  in  the  installation  manual  for  more information about how to create such a configuration file.   8.2.3.1 Signal Interpreter The  uniFLOW  Release  Station  signal  interpreter  allows  the  configuration  of  simple pattern matching rules. These include multi-click events and clock driven events while observing multiple I/O port pins in parallel. .INI Configuration [PORTS] The  Digital  Input  Port  can  be  configured  in  the  a  .INI  file  on  the  uniFLOW  Release Station. The general configuration is in the [PORT] section as follows:  REVERSE  -  Set  to  1  if  the  bit  order  of  the  I/O  port  pins  shall  be  reversed,  e.g. b101000 instead of b000101. Otherwise, set to 0. This means that for example the port  pin  previously  addressed  as  [DIPORT0]  would  then  be  addressed  as [DIPORT5].  INVERT - Set  to 1 if the bits on the  I/O port pins shall be inverted, e.g.  b001000 instead of b110111. Otherwise, set to 0.
uniFLOW Release Station     18  [DIPORTn] Each  pin  on  the  I/O  port  can  be  configured  under  [DIPORT0]  ...  [DIPORT5].  The following settings are available: Interpreter Parameters  DEBOUNCE - The number of milliseconds after a signal edge has been detected, to suspend  monitoring.  Helps  to  solve  double-click  problems  because  of  signal bouncing.  TIMEOUT  -  period  since  last  edge  after  which  an  open  multi-click  sequence  is terminated.  A  multi-click  sequence  is  regarded  as  open  after  the  first  matching event.  EDGE - 0 for valid signal event on rising edge, 1 for falling edge, 2 for both edges.  RULEn - defines rules for pattern matching as explained below. n may be within 1 to  16.  The  sequence  must  be  continuous  or  the  rules  won't  be  used  after  the discontinuity.  For  example  if  RULE1,  RULE2,  RULE3,  RULE5  are  defined,  only RULE1, 2 and 3 will be used. Interpreter Rules Different Rules can be defined for each port pin in the respective [DIPORTn] sections. Rules must be defined under the port which holds the clock signal in order to trigger port events. The rule format is RULE{number}={product}: {mask}, {pattern}, {counter}, {clicks} where  {number}: 1,2,3,... up to 16. Do not use a leading 0, i.e. do not use RULE01, RULE02 … but instead RULE1, RULE2 …  {product}: Product index which is used for click counting if the rule matches. The product index is calculated directly as mask&x if the value is set to -1, where x is the data word on the I/O port and "&" denotes the binary AND operator. The data bits in x may occur reversed or inverted or both if configured as explained under [PORTS] above.  {mask}, {pattern}: The rule match condition holds true if mask&x = pattern, where x is the data word on the I/O port. Again, "&" denotes the binary AND operator. The data bits in x may be reversed or inverted or both if configured as explained under [PORTS] above.  {counter}:  For  multi-clicks  the  assignment  of  a  counter  index  is  required.  The counter index may be within 0 and 15 and if not used set to -1. The counters are shared between all [DIPORTn] sections.  {clicks}: Set to 0 if multi-clicks are not used. Otherwise, give the number of clicks for this match to hold true.   Note that that the numerical values in the rules (and only in the rules, not elsewhere) can be entered either in decimal (e.g. 17), binary (b10001), octal (o21) or hexadecimal (0xd1 or $D1) format. Comments can be started after the {clicks} value with any non-whitespace character, for example '#' or ';'.
