36 Chapter 4 - SmartSet Tutorial
SMARTSET is useful to driver writers in the following ways:
• SMARTSET can be used to experiment with the functionality of each
command in menu form, display the context-sensitive help, and learn how each
option works in conjunction with others, all before writing any driver code.
• Once the controller's features are understood, SMARTSET can be used to
examine the underlying command set and communication. SMARTSET can be
used to send and receive packets of data to the controller in binary or ASCII
form. This protocol must be understood before attempting to write driver
code.
• SMARTSET can be used to test the state of a controller. For example, a
programmer can use SMARTSET to verify a driver changed an option
correctly. In fact, most programmers will choose to program controller options
directly from their driver, rather than using SMARTSET.
Besides programmers, others may use SMARTSET in the following ways:
• SMARTSET can be used to customize the controller, saving all details in a file.
Later, the configuration can be loaded from disk directly into the NVRAM of
other controllers. SMARTSET is not required for use with Elo or third-party
driver software. However, special options such as filtering and timing values
can be adjusted with SMARTSET for use with these drivers.
• SMARTSET can be used for diagnostic purposes.

Select Serial, PC-Bus, or Micro Channel interface. (A selection for Micro Channel
replaces PC-Bus if you are running on a system with a Micro Channel bus.)
Enter the Base I/O Port address or COM port as requested. SMARTSET locates
the controller and displays the controller's jumper settings as shown below:
