What is the device name of the PCI Pamette?
The device name is platform dependent, and can be changed by the user, but by default, it is /dev/pam# on Tru64 Unix and \\.\PAM# on Windows NT where # corresponds to the number of the board. On a system containing only one PCI Pamette, this number is 0. On a multi-PCI Pamette system, the first board is numbered 0, and the other ones in sequence 1, 2, 3… Note that the device name is used only by the PamOpen function, and one can pass NULL as the device name argument. In that case, PamRT chooses the standard default device name on the platform (i.e. /dev/pam0 or \\.\PAM0). This is how we use PamOpen in the Samples, because the code is identical across platforms.
