Configuration File Composition
Each of the configuration files is similar in content and construction; each consists of section headings, variables, and their value.
Section headings can be identified by the square brackets that surround them. Beneath each section heading are the specific variables and values corresponding to the heading.
The syntax for most configuration variables is the name of the variable, followed by an equals sign, followed by the value for that variable. For example, consider the following section heading and variable from the Config.ini configuration file:
[SYSTEM]
DispMgrBitmap = VTS38.bmp
As you can see, the title of the section heading is [SYSTEM], while the variable that applies to the [SYSTEM] section is "DispMgrBitmap". The current value of "DispMgrBitmap" is the bitmap file, "VTS38.bmp".
The application-specific configuration files in your application directory will not display all of the possible section headings and variables that you will find in this guide. This is because most configuration variables are stored in a master configuration file (for example, the master Config.ini and SecurityManager.ini files contain all the default variables). Absence of a variable in an application layer configuration file or an invalid value will cause VTS to load the variable's default value from the master configuration file. To set any of the variables documented in this guide to a value other than the default value, simply type them into the appropriate configuration file under the appropriate heading, and give them the value you require.
It is important to follow a specific convention when you are adding or modifying section headings and variables in any of the configuration files. The rules for adding and modifying the section headings and variables of the configuration files are as follows:
