Settings XML File
The general software settings are stored in the Settings.xml file, which can be found under “\Storage Card\Config\”.
This file must always be present for the software to load. The Settings.xml file consists of four main setting groups;
IndicatorSettings, NetworkSettings, DateTimeSettings and VideoSettings.
Indicator Settings
The following settings can be defined in the Settings.xml file, under IndicatorSettings:
Program
Optional free text string value.
Used for administration to identify the SD Card program.
DeviceType
Optional free text string value, “TFT2X” by default.
Used for administration to identify the device type over network.
DeviceName
Optional string value, “DGINDICATOR” by default.
Sets the device name on network and USB device connection.
Theme
Required string value.
Determines the theme DFX file name to use.
The file should be stored under “\Storage Card\Config\Theme\”.
The file name does not include the “.dfx” file extension.
Input
Optional string value.

The file should be stored under “\Storage Card\Config\Input\”.

StorageDivisionKB
Integer value, 15360 by default.
Determines the amount of RAM to use for volatile storage. Volatile storage is
used by Windows CE and the DragonFly software.
Decreasing this value will increase available RAM, but setting too low could
cause system failure. A value of 15360 is recommended.
DisableMessages
Boolean value, false by default.
Used to disable elevator status/emergency messages.
EnableHallLanternArrows
Boolean value, true by default.
Used to disable hall lantern arrows on the display (outputs for external
lanterns will still work, if present).
EnableFloorScroll
Boolean value, true by default.
When true, the floor designation characters will scroll when they change.
The rate of scroll is determined by the FloorScrollTime setting, or if
FloorScrollTime is -1 the scroll rate dipswitches on the IND055 2-Wire
Controller will be used.
EnableFloorFade
Boolean value, true by default.
When true, the floor designation characters will fade when they change.
Fading effects are only available on the RE2. The rate of fade is determined by
the FloorScrollTime setting, or if FloorScrollTime is -1 the scroll rate
dipswitches on the IND055 2-Wire Controller will be used.
FloorScrollTime
Integer value, -1 by default.
When zero, floor designation character scrolling and fading will be disabled.
When set to a positive value, this setting determines the duration of the
scrolling and/or fading effect in milliseconds.
When set to -1 (or any negative value), the duration of the scroll and/or fade
effect is determined by the scroll rate dipswitches on the IND055 2-Wire
Controller.
EnableWatchdog
Boolean value, true by default.
When true, the system will automatically reboot after two minutes if the
software becomes unresponsive. It is recommended that this setting be left
enabled.
ValidFloorDesignations
Comma separated string values, empty by default.
When specified, this setting will limit the floor designation characters that can
be displayed. If a floor designation is received, it will only be displayed if it
exists in the comma separated list, or if this list is empty.
