Collector Connector (CC07)
Multiple Config Files
If you use more than one data collector with Collector Connector, you may wish to save separate configurationfiles for each collector. Or, if you have more than one person using the program on the same computer or over the network, you may wish for each person to have their own configuration file. Use the following steps to create each configuration file.
1. You must first create the default configuration file called COLLCONN.INI. This file is automatically created the first time the program is loaded and exited. The file is stored in the Collector Connector program directory. The default name that the installation program uses for this directory is: Drive:\SightSrv\CollConn, where Drive is replaced by the drive letter where the program is installed.
2. Use the Windows Explorer (or Windows 3.1 File Manager) to copy the default file to the desired file name of the new configuration file. The new configuration file must have a .INI file name extension and also must reside in the Collector Connector program directory.
3. Next, start the Collector Connector program using the Windows Start > Run routine. When prompted for the program name, type:
Drive:\Directory\CollConn.Exe /CONFIG=Configname
where Drive is replaced by the drive letter where the program is installed, Directory is replaced by the directory where the program is installed, and Configname is replaced by the name of the new configuration file. Using the defaults, this would like the following command:
C:\SightSrv\CollConn\CollConn.Exe /CONFIG=Sokkia.
4. Make the configuration changes for this configuration file and perform a transfer or exit the program.
To use the new configuration file, start the program using the /CONFIG=Configname parameter each time you wish to use the special configuration files. You can either start the program as discussed in Step 3 above, or create a special short-cut to start the program with this parameter.
