3.1.2 Configuration File
The easiest method for the user to configure the SC-2124 is by editing and downloading a
configuration file to the SCANNER. The configuration file is a template file that contains all
configurable parameters and an explanation for all parameter configuration settings. The
user must enter desired configuration values for all appropriate configuration parameters
before downloading the file to the SCANNER.
The configuration file can be edited with any text editor or word processor that can save files
in text format, such as Notepad or Wordpad available on Windows PCs.
The download file contains configuration comments and parameter configurations. The
comments for the configuration parameters explain the function for each parameter and the
programmable values associated for each parameter. The comments are any text or text
characters that follow a semicolon. General SCANNER configuration comments should not
be deleted. However, some comments, such as ‘’, have
been included for the user to overwrite with application-specific descriptors, such as ‘Engine
Exhaust Temperature’.
The configuration file’s parameter configurations program the corresponding SC-2124
parameters when the file is downloaded to the SCANNER.
See Appendix A for an example of the standard SC2124.spc configuration file.
