SINGLE-HOST MULTI-WORKSTATION COMPUTER SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION METHOD THEREOF AND WORKSTATION CARD

摘要

The invention discloses a single-host multi-workstation computer system and its equipment configuration method. The system includes a host, in which installs at least one separate graphic card and at least one workstation card; the workstation card is integrated with graphic cards and input/output interfaces. The method includes the steps:
(a) identify all workstation cards connected to the host; correlate each workstation card with an extended workstation; correlate all separate graphic cards with a primary workstation; (b) allocate human-machine interaction (HMI) devices connected to the same workstation card and graphic cards on the workstation card to the extended workstation corresponding to the workstation card; allocate other HMI devices to the primary workstation. The invention enables automatic "single-host multi-workstation" configuration of all the HMI devices; the configuration logic is simple and clear; the division of various workstations is intuitive; the user can perform hot plug and play to any USB device.
