Rules for the realscan.ini File
1.
The .ini file is a text file consisting of sections for specifying different parameters.
Each section is marked in enclosing square brackets, example [Group].
2.
Sections may be in any order. Initialization lines may be in any order within a
section.
3.
Lines that start with a single quote ( ' ) or octothorpe ( # ) are comments. Blank lines
and white space (except possible in a value field) are ignored.
4.
Initialization lines consist of a token, followed by zero or more blanks, followed by
an equal sign, followed by zero or more blanks or tabs, followed by the initialization
value for the token: TOKEN = Value.
5.
Tokens/Value pairs may be directed to an individual unit by preceding the token
with the Unit ID enclosed in angle brackets, example <Tools1>. Text_Rows = 4
6.
Tokens/Value pairs may be directed to all units in a group by preceding the token
with the Group name enclosed in angle brackets, example <Shoedept>. Text_Fcolor
= Green.
7.
Group names may consist of alpha and numeric characters only.
8.
Tokens and sections that are unrecognized are ignored. Default values are used
when a token is not present.
9.
Values are set in the order they appear in the file. If there are duplicate tokens in a
section, the value used is the last one on the list except when a Unit ID is specified.
If the Unit ID is specified, only that token/value pair is used, regardless of the
position within the section.
10.
A font file must be specified (replaces the default font) if the text foreground and
background colors are to be specified.
11.
If the clock function is being used, a second font file may be specified for the clock
display. This is the only case where two font files can be used at the same time.
12.
The NPTServer mode sets the time when reasccan.ini is run (at boot time). To keep
the clock accurate, periodic updates using the TimeDate mode from your
application is recommenced.
