Generic Device Driver
Definition File and Driver Name ("Device/Definition")

The driver name defined here identifies the driver during the configuration. This name is used as the default name during installation.

 Tip:

Do not name any other device driver with the same name to avoid that two identical entries appear in the drivers list.

The driver's definition file is always saved to the BIN directory of the Chromeleon installation, using the specified definition file name. The file automatically receives the extension GEN. If a file with this name already exists, the extension of the older file is automatically changed to BAK and the new definition is saved. The GEN files contain all the information entered when defining the driver. You can copy the file from this directory to the BIN directory of any other Chromeleon server to make the driver available on that server, too. You can remove device drivers that were generated inadvertently or for test purposes from the BIN directory by simply deleting the corresponding GEN files.
