The VTS layer directory contains a series of files used by VTS. These files and their extensions are described below.
.BMP files The .BMP files (bitmaps) are the graphic files used by VTS to display icons. For example, many of these bitmaps are used as the display icons for the buttons representing the tools of the configuration toolbox.
Config.ini This Config.ini file is the master Config.ini configuration file that stores all the default values for application-specific configuration settings. It is strongly recommended that you do not modify this file.
Config.ini is described in Introduction to Config.ini.
SecMgr.ini The SecMgr.ini file is an obsolete configuration file that has been replaced with the SecurityManager.ini configuration file (see Introduction to SecurityManager.ini).
Note: Existing applications using a SecMgr.ini file rather than a SecurityManager.ini file will continue to be functional.
SecurityManager.ini This SecurityManager.ini file is the master SecurityManager.ini file that stores all the default values for configuration settings applicable to security. It is strongly recommended that you do not modify this file. SecurityManager.ini is discussed in Introduction to SecurityManager.ini.
SCT.mdb The SCT.mdb file is a template used to establish a replica tag database that will contain copies of the data stored in the tag properties database for each new application. (The resulting replica tag database is used by VTS to detect and handle offline changes to the tag properties database.)
.CUT files The .CUT files are specially formatted graphics files used by VTS. These graphics files were originally created using a software package known as "Dr. Halo".
.RUN files The .RUN files contained within the VTS layer directory are run-time files generated and used by VTS. These cannot be edited.
.SRC files The .SRC files contain the source code for the drivers that are configured for each new application. One .SRC file of particular importance is the BlkPage.src file which is used to generate new page files each time you add a new application page to your application using the New Page dialog.
.VAL files The .VAL files contain the default values assigned to variables in the VTS scripting code.
GDI.wif The GDI.wif file is a template used to establish a new GDI.WIF file for each application you create. GDI.wif files are the means by which VTS can identify a directory on your hard drive as being an application directory. The GDI.WIF file is discussed in GDI.WIF.
