The DSPINSTL Configuration file (DSC file) interpreter allows the display driver developer to specify, within the DSC files, the high level knowledge that characterizes one or more display driver packages. The information contained in the DSC files determines the contents of some of the fields in the standard set of PM panels. It also initializes a chain of data elements that will subsequently be passed to the DSPINSTL Command Language Interpreter that executes as the final stage of DSPINSTL operation.
