Using AMC13Tool

Line: 29 to 29

Important Notes

Changed:

<
<

Address Tables are looked for in two locations: ${pwd} and ./map. If they are not found there, then the XDAQ_ROOT AMC13 Address Tables are used, and these may not be up-to-date with the most current software (if one has update their source tree from CVS since the release)
As of 11_5_3, the most current Tool lives at 11_5_3/hcal/hcalUpgrade/amc13/bin/linux/x86_64_slc5/AMC13Tool.exe
