Generating a Configuration File

This page shows you an easy way to generate a Configuration File. It uses the Console window command "nvm dump" to generate a text file of resource settings that you can use as a configuration file.

There is an easy way to generate a configuration file. The Console Window has a command:
nvm dump
that reports your current Setup Mode settings in resource form. These entries can be made part of your configuration file since the syntax of the resources is correct for the configuration file. All you need to do is set up one ViewStation with your desired settings, then do nvm dump, and then cut-and-paste the values into your config.fx file. This is a sample nvm dump. Note that the header and trailer information and the IP address should not become part of the config.fx file
