Config File
The file config.txt is read at startup and can be re-read during VT operation by press the 'CFG' button. The config file format is that of an 'INI file' [1]. There are two sections from this file that are processed.
- selected : any variable listed in this section will be automatically selected when the config file is read.
- axis_limits : a list of key=value pairs where the key is the variable name and the value is a 2 element vector that specifies that minimum and maximum y-axis. Variables listed in this section are also selected by default.
[selected] # these variables are selected Valve_in_td Valve_in_ad Valve_in_hs1 [axis_limits] # specify axis limits and select the variables Valve_in_pd=[-51,40] Valve_in_fd=[2,5] Valve_in_vd=[1,10];
Note : the section names should be lower case, however case of the variables is ignored.
