Optional PRT Configuration Files

The optional configuration files are not required to run a basic tracking model. However the configuration of your tracking model may require some or all of these files in order to provide you with the kind of information you want to collect.

All of these files have a .dat extension, with the exception of the last two, which have a .cfg extension.

Files with a .dat extension are binary; files with a .cfg extension are in text format.
