HELP
Allows you to create and edit configurations
for instruments and selected hardware
interfaces.  This feature is available in 
HP VEE-Test only.

USE
Use Configure I/O to add or delete an
instrument, or edit an existing
configuration.  This section contains a very
brief overview on using Configure I/O.  If
you have not already done so, you should read
the following information:

In Configure I/O, you must decide whether
you wish to configure an instrument for use
with or without a driver.  If you are not
sure whether a driver is available, follow
the configuration procedure up to the point
where a driver file is specified.

If an instrument is configured without a
driver, it can only be used to create Direct
I/O objects.  If an instrument is configured
with a driver, it can be used to create State
Drivers, Component Drivers, and Direct I/O
objects.

The configuration is Read/Saved to .veeio
file in $HOME directory, so Config
information is saved across executions of HP
VEE.
