WIN.INI entries
The first time you run the SPA Server configuration, most of the items in the following list
will automatically appear in the WIN.INI file. It is usually in the MS Windows system
directory (e.g. C:\WINNT). It is an ASCII file and can be altered manually if you wish with
any text editor, for example MS Notepad (Do not use a program that formats text, such as
MS Word or Write unless the file is saved as DOS text). The following is a typical entry for
the SPA Server:
[SPA]
ProtocolTimer=10
ConfigurationFile=C:\SPA\
WinIconic=0
WinFullScreen=0
WinTop=110
WinLeft=0
WinWidth=200
WinHeight=170
ShowSend=0
ShowReceive=0
ShowErrors=1
DumpScreen=1
SlowPollRetries =3
SlowPollInterval=120
WriteRetryIndefinitely=0
The SlowPollRetries entry is used to enter the number of consecutive error retries for
one topic. If after SlowPollRetries there is still no successful response from SPA device,
then this topic is changed to slow poll mode. The WIN.INI file SlowPollInterval entry is
used to enter the slow poll mode update interval (in seconds).
Entering into slow poll mode is reported to WWLogger and (or) to SPA Internal Logger by
following string:
"Entering slow poll mode on topic <TOPICNAME>, port <PORTNAME>."
Leaving the slow poll mode is reported to WWLogger and (or) to SPA Internal Logger by
following string:
"Leaving slow poll mode on topic <TOPICNAME>, port <PORTNAME>."
The default values (they are used if WIN.INI file does not contain these entries) are
SlowPollRetries equal to 5 and SlowPollInterval equal to 60 seconds.
