Rules for Configuration File Composition – Required

      Section headings and variables MUST appear in the appropriate configuration file to be recognized by VTS.

      Variables must appear under the appropriate section heading to be valid;

      Section headings MUST be surrounded by square brackets;

      Section headings and variable names MUST not have spaces;

      Section headings and variables MUST be spelled exactly as they appear in this guide;

      Variables and their values MUST be separated by an equals sign (=) (unless otherwise specified);

      If the syntax of the variable uses an equals sign (=), then the variable name MUST appear to the left of the equals sign while value must appear to the right. Most variables typically follow this syntax (unless indicated otherwise); and

      Variable values MUST be valid values as indicated in this guide. Values may be numeric (either 1 or 0, or another value), a text string, or a path or file name, depending upon the variable. Valid values are specified for each variable in this guide.

      If you wish to comment variables throughout a configuration file, each comment line must be prefaced by a semicolon, and comments must appear on a line underneath the variable being commented – no comments should appear on the same line as and directly after a variable. For example (correct):

[SYSTEM]

DispMgrFullScreen = 1

; FALSE if the Display Manager should have a Windows title bar.

DispMgrWidth = 700

; Indicates the width of the Display Manager

DispMgrHeight = 500

; Indicates the height of the Display Manager

Rather than (incorrect):

[SYSTEM]

DispMgrFullScreen = 1 ;FALSE if the Display Manager should have a Windows title bar.

DispMgrWidth = 700 ;Indicates the width of the Display Manager

DispMgrHeight = 500 ;Indicates the height of the Display Manager
