Structure of the INI file
The data blocks are entered into a descriptive file with the *.INI file extension; their contents
should be kept when upgrading.
The contents of this file are structured line-by-line as follows:
;message=<Text> ; Language-independent text for the dialog line
(optional)
DB<number> ; The contents of the complete DB <number> are kept
(1)
DB<from> - <to> ; The contents of all DBs from <from> to <to> are
kept (2)
DB<number> [<byte>] ; The byte of the data block <number> is kept (3)
DB<number> [<from> -
<to>] ; The bytes <from> to <to> of the data block
<number> are kept (4)
●
User-specific comments can be specified. For an error-free descriptive file, this language-
independent text is output in the dialog line and should not be longer than 50 characters
so that it can be completely displayed in this dialog line. Only the first text instruction is
evaluated.
● Empty lines and comments are possible - starting with a semicolon. Separators (blanks or
tabs) can be located but do not have to be located between the symbols for the data
blocks (DB), the addresses, the end of range characters (-) and the byte ID [ ]. A
differentiation is not made between upper/lower case letters.
