Setup Files (.Stp) - Ametek L Series User Manual

L-Series and FCS-18- Graphical User Interface User Manual

12.1 Setup files (.stp)

Setup files are given the default extension 'stp' which is short for setup.
Setup files have only limited use in the LSGUI program as most of the setting
for the program are dictated by the hardware configuration data and active
steady state settings reported by the connected L-Series unit. As such, they
are more useful for use in the simulation mode.
The setup file format is supplied here only for reference purposes. We do
not recommend editing setup files with a text editor as the likelihood of
generating errors is great. Setup files are comma separated value ASCII text
files that conform to the following format :
