INPUT FILES#

CONFIGURATION FILE#

The program reads configuration files from the following locations in the given order (in parenthesis: Windows)

\$HOME/.stemget.cfg (%HOME%\\stemget.ini)
\$HOME/.eldix.cfg (%HOME%\\eldix.ini)
/usr/local/ELDICO/stemget.cfg (%PROGRAMDATA%\\ELDICO\\stemget.ini)
/usr/local/ELDICO/eldix.cfg (%PROGRAMDATA%\\ELDICO\\eldix.ini)
\$ELDICOPRG/stemget.cfg (%ELDICOPRG%\\stemget.ini)
\$ELDICOPRG/eldix.cfg (%ELDICOPRG%\\eldix.ini)

Entries given in the next available file will override all previous entries. This allows for mixing entries that can be changed by the user with entries set by a system administrator.

Within the configuration file, the program will parse keywords from sections [ebeam] and [stem]. Please see the man page eldix.cfg for more details.

In addition to the documentation eldix.cfg, program understands 3 special keywords in section [stem]:

timeout=SEC: After SEC seconds, the program will exit and send a restart command to the EBS system. If SEC is \<= 0.0, the program will wait indefinitely. Example: flipx=True\ Default: flipx=False

<!-- -->

flipx=True | False: When set to True, left and right hand side of the output image will be flipped. Example: flipx=True\ Default: flipx=False

<!-- -->

flipy=True | False: When set to True, top and bottom of the output image will be flipped. Example: flipy=True\ Default: flipy=False
