simscope.config — Simscope Configuration
Simscope server is configured via a text configuration file, and loaded when the Simscope server process starts.
This file can be placed anywhere on disk, and is generally named simscope.config.
- The config file is INI formatted.
Changing simscope.config
Simscope reads the simscope.config file one time, as the server is loaded.
- If you change the configuration file, you must restart the Server for Simscope to use the new configuration.
Sample Simscope configuration
