4.) After changing the config file you should check it with the program ConfigCheck
as described in the next chapter.
3.3 ConfigCheck
One can check the syntax of a configuration file with the program “ConfigCheck”,
which is included in the SpecsLab software package.
1. Start ConfigCheck found in the SPECS folder.
2. Load the appropriate config file. The name of the config file depends on
your hard- and software and is only known at runtime of the software. Es-
tablishing a connection to the HSA using SpecsLab2, the HSA3500Juggler, or
external programs using the SL2_AD.dll outputs the used config file to in-
ternal windows debug facilities. These can be read out with the free soft-
ware tool DebugView available from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sys-
internals/bb896647.aspx Now open DebugView and connect to the HSA and
look for the following line:
000:00:02:023 0x0460 MAJOREVENT [HSA3500Analyzer::CCD-Phoibos-
Hsa3500@HSA3500Analyzer] loading HSA configuration from
"..\config\Hsa3500CCDConfig.123.hsa"
where 123 denotes the hardware type of the HSA.
3. Check the config file without being connected.
4. If no error messages are printed, try to connect to the hardware by pressing
"Connect". Now also no error messages should appear.
Note: ConfigCheck can not check for user input errors (wrong spline definitions,
wrong forumulas, etc.). It can only check the syntax of the config file and that all the
correct modules and DACs are referenced.
