Parameters

You can choose from many configuration parameters to help you fine-tune your project. These parameters are documented in the Computer Setup Editor Help, as well as the CitectSCADA Help.

Parameters are organized into sections according to their purpose.

The syntax used in citect.ini to define a section is as follows:

[Section Name]

<parameter name1> = <parameter value1>

<parameter name2> = <parameter value2>

<parameter nameX> = <parameter valueX>

For example:

[Alarm]

Primary = 1

SavePeriod = 600

SaveSecondary = 

ScanTime = 500

The following rules apply when the citect.ini is read at runtime:

• A section continues until a new section is defined or the end of file is reached.
• Each parameter definition finishes with a return.
• Any line starting with a hash or pound (#) character is considered to be a comment.
• Any line starting with an exclamation mark (!) is considered to be disabled and therefore treated as a comment.
