1.1.1. Common information

Configuration files are necessary for editor run, without them the application can't start.

Configuration files are stored in the directory /configuration. They describe information about FO parameters displayed in the editor.

List of all configuration files

Together with the configuration files the editor needs XML files from parameter specifications.

Contents of configuration files and parameter reference files are interdependent. Dependences are illustrated by the schema (Figure 1.1).

Loading configuration files

When the FO parameter editor is launched, it starts to load configuration files. Information about the loading progress are shown in the information panel (Figure 1.2).

After all configuration files are loaded, the progress information panel disappears.

Errors in configuration files

FO parameter editor can't run without the presence of well-formed configuration files. When the editor is starting, it loads information from the configuration files. If a configuration file is missing or isn't well-formed, the FO parameter editor stops loading and shows the error (Figure 1.3).

Then you must close the information panel, correct the mentioned errors and launch the FO parameter editor again.
