The Application configuration file (default name is config.xml) defines a set of information that AVEVA™ XR engine needs to run. This includes rendering-related and application-related settings.
All the runtime applications that are based on the AVEVA™ XR engine: XR Viewer, XR Instructor, XR TabletViewer, and XR Studio requires this file to properly start up.
Sections
The application configuration file is divided into five sections. Each section covers a different aspect and provides access to specific configurations.

Configurator tool
The application configuration file can be managed with the dedicated XR Settings tool. The file must be configured before starting an application, because the settings are read only at startup time.
-
The application configuration file is based on the Configuration files syntax.
-
The XR Settings tool allows you to rename the file.
-
In some cases, it is useful to have different copies of the application configuration file with different settings.
-
Also consider that all the applications based on AVEVA™ XR engine can be forced to load an application configuration file with a different name by using of the -config filename.xml inline attribute.
