Configuration Format
The configuration file is a comma-delimited text file that specifies one data variable per line. Each line starts by specifying the data format of the variable by one of the tags presented in the table below. The position of the variable in the output grid is then given by two coordinates starting at index 1. The final parameter assigns a text string to the variable.
| Type | Size | Tag | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unsigned byte | 1 | B | B,1,1,Light |
| Signed byte | 1 | -B | -B,1,1,Encoder |
| Unsigned short | 2 | D | D,1,1,ADC |
| Signed short | 2 | -D | -D,1,1,ADC |
| Unsigned word | 4 | W | W,1,1,Transfer rate |
| Signed word | 4 | -W | -W,1,1,Status code |
| Floating point | 4 | F | F,1,1,Temperature |
| Double-precision floating point | 8 | DF | DF,1,1,Measurement |
| Grid of unsigned bytes | 1 * W * D | GB<WxD> | GB<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of signed bytes | 1 * W * D | -GB<WxD> | -GB<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of unsigned short | 2 * W * D | GD<WxD> | GD<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of signed short | 2 * W * D | -GD<WxD> | -GD<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of unsigned word | 4 * W * D | GW<WxD> | GW<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of signed word | 4 * W * D | -GW<WxD> | -GW<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of floating point | 8 * W * D | GF<WxD> | GF<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
| Grid of double-precision floating point | 8 * W * D | GDF<WxD> | GDF<10x10>,1,1,Surface |
