In the version folder there is a file called device.dat.
In the version folder there is a file called [[DEVICES.DAT]].
This file is the link between RadiMation and the device driver system.
This file is the link between RadiMation and the device driver system.
The DEVICES.DAT file is a text based file so the contents of the file can be shown in Microsoft Notepad.


How does this help me?
It contains all lines like:
It is a text based file so you can view it with notepad for example.
 
  MARCONI2017,MARCSG.DLL,Marconi,1,2017
  MARCONI2017,MARCSG.DLL,Marconi,1,2017


is an example of one of the lines in this file.
Each line is encoded as a comma seperated line with the fields:
what does it tell you?
  <Unique ID> , <DLL file> , <Manufacturer> , <Type of device> , <Device Identification>
  #UNIQUE ID# , #DLL file# , #Manufacture#, #Type device#, #device ID#


so if we are looking for the 2017 of macroni we found it.
so if we are looking for the Marconi 2017 we found it. The DLL File in which the device driver is located, is specified in the second column of the line (<DLL file>). The Marconi 2017 device driver is thus part of the MARCSG.DLL file.


'''hint:''' search for the device ID but leave out the a and b in the end. example Hewlett Packard 11713A, can also have a "B" version. so searching for 11713 will give you faster results.

Where can I find which driver is stored in which DLL?

Answer[edit]

In the version folder there is a file called DEVICES.DAT. This file is the link between RadiMation and the device driver system. The DEVICES.DAT file is a text based file so the contents of the file can be shown in Microsoft Notepad.

It contains all lines like:

MARCONI2017,MARCSG.DLL,Marconi,1,2017

Each line is encoded as a comma seperated line with the fields:

<Unique ID> , <DLL file> , <Manufacturer> , <Type of device> , <Device Identification>

so if we are looking for the Marconi 2017 we found it. The DLL File in which the device driver is located, is specified in the second column of the line (<DLL file>). The Marconi 2017 device driver is thus part of the MARCSG.DLL file.

Note: Search for the device ID but leave out the 'A' or 'B' in the end. For example: Hewlett Packard 11713A can also have a 'B' version, so searching for 11713 only will give you faster results.
