Variables
The variables that may appear in the DPCTRACK.INI file are:
BackupPath
This variable determines the default path and file name for backups of your
database files. The initial default is C:\DPCDATA.ZIP. See Chapter 9,
“System Maintenance,” for more information on backups.
BufferPath
This optional setting specifies the directory located on a RAM disk (such as
C:\TEMP), which is used to speed up access to frequently used data. The
available space within the specified directory should be large enough to hold
all of the files in your database directory (where the LccPath variable points
to) that meet the DB*.DEF and DB*.CAT criteria. (This setting may have
been determined for you during the installation process.)
CommaReplace
International customers may want to use this variable to specify the character
to be used in place of the traditional (US Standard) comma in numbers.
CommTimeout
The value of this variable determines the amount of time (in seconds) to wait
before timing out during a calibrator load or unload procedure. The default
value is five seconds.
ComPort
This variable identifies the serial port to be used for calibrator
communications. The default value is COM1. If you’re having trouble
establishing communications with the calibrator, you may have to change this
setting to be COM2, or some other value. Example: ComPort=COM2.
DatabaseWindow
This variable works in conjunction with the DialogCenter variable to keep
track of your window centering and arrangement preferences, especially for
those of you with large resolution capabilities. We recommend that you do
not attempt to change the setting of this variable.
