Interface directories

PIHOME Directory Tree

64-bit interfaces

The [PIHOME] directory tree is defined by the PIHOME entry in the pipc.ini configuration file. This pipc.ini file is an ASCII text file, which is located in the %windir% directory.

For 64-bit operating systems, a typical pipc.ini file contains the following lines:

[PIPC]
PIHOME=C:\ProgramFiles\PIPC

The above lines define the root of the PIHOME directory on the C: drive. The PIHOME directory does not need to be on the C: drive. AVEVA recommends using the paths shown above as the root PIHOME directory name.

Interface Installation Directory

The interface install kit will automatically install the interface to:

PIHOME\Interfaces\Random\

PIHOME is defined in the pipc.ini file.
