1. Configuration Data
1.1.Data format
Configuration data can be sent to and from the tester. The format is ASCII text strings. This makes it easy to add new configuration data at a later date. It also makes it easy to manipulate configuration data on a PC using a standard text editor.
The format of a configuration data file is :-
[Trace<n>]
<value1>
<value2>
etc…
[UserName]
<value1>
<value2>
etc…
[Comment]
<value1>
<value2>
etc…
[AppModuleName]
<value1>
<value2>
etc…
[END]
For example a typical configuration file might look like this:-
[Trace2]
Peterlee
Hartlepool
[Trace3]
Engineering Dept.
Sales Room
[Trace8]
Client A
Client B
[UserName]
Steve Rudd
Joe Bloggs
Sr Jose Carreras
[Comment]
Defibrilator
ECG
[AppModuleName]
AP module 1
AP module 2
[End]
