5.5.5. - The Config File
The config file is an ASCII file that describes the diffractometer hardware configuration. Although the config file can be edited by hand, you will be safer using the edconf program to make modifications as edconf insures the config file obeys the structuring rules required by spec.
Comment lines in the config file begin with a
#. Other lines contain key words
specifying devices, CAMAC slots or motor and counter parameters.
Key words are followed by
a space-delimited
equals sign and
one or more parameters.
The config_adm help file contains up-to-date information about currently recognized key words and supported hardware devices. The Hardware Reference section of the manual describes some of the specific hardware devices recognized by spec and indicates the config file syntax required to specify each device.
