Configuration Basics

Using the LI-6400
16
In the early days of the LI-6400, there was but one way to do any configura-
tion change: go to the Config Editor. While this tool is still available as a last
resort, more recent versions of software have introduced various configura-
tion ÒhelpersÓ, such as Logging Control (page 9-7), Prompt Control (page
9-12), and Light Source Control (page 8-4).
The purpose of this chapter is to explain OPENÕs configuration scheme, and
how the various configuration helpers fit into it. We also describe another
helper, the Installation Menu. It has itÕs own guided tour in an earlier chapter
(see page 3-51), but we give the details here. Finally, we document the gen-
eral purpose configuration tool, the Config Editor.
A Definition of Terms
Configuring OPEN for making the measurements that you want covers a va-
riety of issues, including the proper calibration constants for the sensors being
used, the mix of variables you want stored, and the particular equation set that
you deem appropriate, to name but three. All of these are handled by one ve-
hicle: the configuration file.
Configuration Files
When OPEN is first run, one of the things that happens is the selection and
implementation of a
configuration file
. This may happen automatically, or
may involve user assistance. If multiple configuration files exist, the user is
asked to select one from a menu (Figure 16-1). The default configuration file
is named
Factory Default
, and if that is the only one found, it is used without first
prompting the user to select it.
So what, then, is a Configuration File? It is simply a collection of configura-
tion commands that specify changes to the default settings. While there are
about 30 possible configuration commands, usually only a few are found in a
configuration file.
