After your adapter has been written, compiled, and linked, you need to create the configuration files that will be used in conjunction with NNSYAdapter39.exe. You create a unique configuration file for each mode and data representation that your adapter supports. For example, if your adapter implements the acquire mode for both NDO and buffer, you need two different configuration files, each one configured for the mode and data representation appropriate for that mode. When you run the adapter, you will need to set up one instance of the adapter for each configuration file.
At runtime, the functions inside your adapter are called at the appropriate time, depending on the mode that is running and, when the mode is Acquire, Process, or Deliver, the data representation that is active.
