Ported MiniDAQ i960 code supports ttm's MiniDAQ-format output, implementing much, but not all, of MiniDAQ's functionality. (No functionality was deliberately removed, but the MiniDAQ 68K processors, not the i960's, handled table creation and output, and only the essential parts were replaced in ttm.) Not surprisingly, most of the parameters in the single-row ttm_par table derive from MiniDAQ's configuration parameters and have nearly identical names. They are summarized in the following table.
NOTE: The ttm_par parameter values are checked against allowed values and for consistency at the start of a run; illegal or inconsistent values are usually reset, accompanied by a warning message, whenever a plausible choice is possible.
