These components previously resided in epics/base.

    vmic4100Config(ncards, nchannels, base)

where

    ncards - number of modules. The default is 4.
    nchannels - number of channels, The default is 16.
    base - the VME address for the first card. The default is 0x4100.

Installation and Building

After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).

Create an installation directory for the module, usually this will end with

support/vmic

Unpacking the distribution tar file produces a <supporttop> directory named after the release number.
Edit the config/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base.
Run gnumake in the top level directory and check for any compilation errors.

Application Builds

In order to use the support in an application do the following:

Add the following to <top>/configure/RELEASE
```
VMIC=<full path to installation directory>
```
Add the following to the application Makefile.
```
<app>_LIBS_vxWorks += vmic
```
Add the following to the <app>Include.dbd.
```
include "vmic4100.dbd"
```
