NOTE: You must have an SI7 configuration file in your root Dynamics directory
named nodename.SI7. This file is necessary for iFIX to load the driver and is created
by the installation program when you install the SI7 driver. You also need a

driver, FIX/iFIX cannot automatically start the driver because the name of the node
does not match the name of the configuration file. To correct this, rename the
