The Setup.ini File
Configure your PQube by editing the Setup.ini file on its SD card. This is a simple text file. You can
edit it with any text editor, such as Notepad. Your PQube uses the standard INI file format. All you
have to do is change the text after the equals signs ( = ).
When you plug an SD card into your PQube, your PQube will automatically reset itself, and then
read your Setup.ini file. As it reads your Setup.ini file, your PQube will store your settings into its
flash memory.
If you plug in an SD card that does not include a Setup.ini file, your PQube will use the Setup that it
previously stored in its flash memory. So you can easily configure your PQube once, then use blank
SD cards from then on. Note that you may want to copy the Setup.ini file and the language packs
from the old SD card to make it easier to make changes to your PQube setup and make it possible
to change the language settings.
For a description of the setup file tags, see Appendix 2 (page 78).
Location.gif
Location.gif is a photograph (usually) of where your PQube is installed. Your PQube automatically
inserts it at the top right corner of your PQube’s graphic output files.
Your Location.gif file must be exactly 128 x 96 pixels;
it must be normal row order (not interlaced);
it must use the Web palette.
When you insert an SD card that contains a Location.gif file, your PQube will automatically reset
itself, then store the Location.gif into its flash memory. It will permanently remember this picture
until you replace it. (The storing process takes a few seconds, so you may want to delete the
Location.gif file from your SD card after you have inserted it once.)
You can see your Location.gif on your PQube’s display, one joystick click down from the bottom of
the main menu.
