Chapter B : Dazzler parameters
save conditions from execution to execution. All files may be commented by text starting with
the exclamation mark ”!”. However, files which are
rw
(read/write) cannot unfortunately keep
user-added comments, as they are overwritten by the software, but each parameter contained in
these files should already be described by a short comment.
B.2.2
DazMain.txt
This is the major file defining the Dazzler system. This file contains different sections of type
[
section name
], in which are stored the different factory parameters needed to describe the gener-
ator. For example, the software uses this file to determine if the generator has the
T
2, or
T unable
options implemented.
This file has been created by Fastlite and should never be changed. Otherwise, the generator
and software might completely stop working.
B.2.3
DazCurrent.txt
This file contains the parameters optionally saved upon exit by the software to be kept for the
next execution. Hence this file is only written if the user answers ”yes” when asked ”Do you want
to save the current settings for next restart?”.
This file also contains different sections, the main one being [
T rig
&
M ode
], which contains all
the parameters of the ”Trigger & Mode” panel.
Though being marked
rw
, this file should rarely have to be changed by hand. Parameters
should be changed during the software execution, and saved upon exit.
B.2.4
wave.txt
This file keeps the main panel control values for re-use on the next start. Users wishing to operate
the remote control options will use this file to find the names and syntax of the various knobs and
controls.
When the stored waveform was using the files ”
AMP.TXT
” or ”
PHASE.TXT
”, the contents of these
two files are stored in ”
wave.txt
”. When the waveform parameters are restored, the contents of
the files ”
AMP.TXT
” or ”
PHASE.TXT
” are overwritten back to what they were when the waveform
was saved.
The same principle applies for the waveforms using ”combination” between multiple buffers.
Each of them is saved and restored when reading the wave file.
The trigger settings are also stored in the ”
wave.txt
”, but are only here as a reminder. Trigger
settings are NOT modified when the waveform parameters are restored.
B.2.5
Other Files
Some other files may be found among other parameter files.
These are generally calibration
data files, that have been generated at the factory, and used to generate
DazMain.txt
and
DazCurrent.txt
files.
Here is a very short description of the different files you may find in
your parameters directory.
ro
filter.txt
small signal response of the RF generation
ro
tunfilter.txt
calibration data of adjustable filter (tunable option)
ro
displays.txt
possible output signals names
