Managing configurations

You can create and edit special configurations for the application configuration launcher to start in the application toolbar.

• A configuration is a set of specific values assigned to some properties of the project configuration files.

• These property values overwrite the values set in the project, so that you can run the application with a particular setup for development purposes. Then you do not need to continuously modify the project config files.

These run configurations are stored as batch files inside the _prjdata\runcfg folder and then copied into the release when compiling it. This way the same shortcuts are available for the final user.

Examples

Some examples of useful configurations:

• Launches the application directly in simulation or viewer mode instead of passing through login and scenario selection.

• Launches a reduced application context to examine a portion of the process.

Run Configurations

You can run a configuration and specify associated files.

• Add. Loads an existing configuration.

• Remove. Removes a configuration.

Application to Start

• Click the drop-down menu to select an application to start.

Command line arguments

• Args. Additional command line arguments can be provisioned to the selected Application to Start using this area.
