PROBEWIN.INI

The main configuration file used by Probe for EPMA is PROBEWIN.INI. This file is located in the Probe for EPMA program data (usually C:\ProgramData\Probe Software\Probe for EPMA). This is a windows initialization file used only by Probe for EPMA and its companion programs. A number of "shared" components are installed to the Windows system folder and they are automatically registered by the installation program. All single value parameters (e.g., the number of stage motors) used by Probe for EPMA and its companion programs are specified in this PROBEWIN.INI file.

 

The PROBEWIN.INI file has a standard Windows .INI file structure. That is, it consists of several distinct sections designated by a section name enclosed in square [ ] brackets. Each section then contains one or more distinct keywords to specify various single value probe configuration values. These values can be integer or string values. Strings need to be enclosed in double quotes if the string contains blanks. Real number values are read as strings and then converted to single or double precision real numbers. Boolean (true or false) values are read as integer values where 0 is false and any non-zero value is true.

 

The following section describes each section and the keyword definitions for each. The allowable range and the default value loaded if the keyword is not found in the file is given for each keyword.
