The software initialisation configuration file (by default, /usr/discreet/<product_home>/cfg/init.cfg) is parsed when you launch the software. Keywords in the configuration file define parameters such as I/O devices, peripherals, workstation display settings, and environment directory paths. These parameters are independent of the project you select from the Project Management menu when you begin a session.
When you first install the software, you are prompted to edit the default software initialisation configuration file.
As you continue to work with the software, you may have to edit this file under certain conditions, such as:
You may choose to create different versions of the software initialisation configuration file to accommodate session-based needs that change through the course of a project.
To view the default software initialisation file, browse to the /usr/discreet/<product_home>/cfg/ directory, and open the init.cfg file in any text editor.
The file contains comments that provide brief descriptions of each keyword, keyword syntax, as well as usage examples.
In some cases keyword examples are not commented out and are used as the default settings. They are parsed during software initialisation and the corresponding parameter is set.
