Appendix D FmConfig.ini File Variables
D.1 Overview
The following variables are defined as Equipment Constants.
 NOTE Floating point variables in the FmConfig.ini file have been converted to and uploaded
as ASCII strings to prevent rounding and truncation errors that would occur if uploaded
as floating point values. This method guarantees an exact match to the FmConfig.ini
entry.
Also, configuration parameters which contain more than one value, such as XY coordinates and light
states, are converted to a single string with each value separated by a comma. This prevents having
multiple ECs represent a single parameter as well as avoiding the rounding/truncation problem.
In the table below, these cases have been identified in the “Storage Type” column where:
• ASCII is ASCII
• INT is Integer
• FLT is Float
If an ASCII string represents more than one value, such as an XY coordinate that contains two floating
point values separated by a comma, “FLT,FLT” will be added to the storage type.
Finally, “(none)” will be returned by the equipment for those integer, floats or arrays which have no
value. For instance, light states, defined as A[30], may contain four integer values “INT,INT,INT,INT”
but if the light state has not been defined the equipment will return a single string “(none)”.
