Advanced Configuration

surveyor.ini File

Surveyor uses configuration settings from a .ini file called

surveyor.ini. If you want to run the product with different configurations, you can save different sets of configuration information in different .ini files. Sur- veyor always looks for the file named surveyor.ini in the directory where Sur- veyor is installed and will use that file for its configuration. If no surveyor.ini file is found in the directory, Surveyor will build another surveyor.ini file based on the factory default configuration settings.

Different sets of configuration information can be especially useful for display tim- ers and update timers. The first eight parameters of the surveyor.ini file are the configuration values for the various display timers.

For information on other surveyor.ini settings, contact Customer Support. It is not recommended that you alter the surveyor.ini file directly.
