Setting Target Parameters in Target Configuration Lists

Set target parameters in Target Configuration Lists through a CSV file.

Creating a CSV File for Target Configuration Lists

Create the CSV file to upload to the RTG in Target Configuration Lists.

Each row of the file sets the configuration and synchronization for the targets—three for the Pulse Aware personality and four for Pulse Invariant personality.

  1. Create the CSV file as a comma-delineated text file or in a spreadsheet.
  2. Configure columns one and two as indicated in the following table.
    Table 33. Target Configuration Lists CSV File Structure, Column 1 and 2
    Column Name Allowed Values
    Synchronization Mode String
    • Software Trigger
    • Hardware Trigger
    • Time Offset Relative to First
    • Time Offset Relative to Last
    • Pulse Rising Edge
    • Pulse Falling Edge
    Synchronization Time Offset Floating point in seconds (s) representing the amount of time from the configuration change trigger (based on synchronization) until the configuration occurs.
  3. Save the file as .csv on the RTG controller.
Note Use the RTG List Mode Utility to create, validate, and convert CSV-based target lists before they are uploaded to the RTG Target Configuration Lists. Refer to Using the List Mode Utility for more information.

Uploading CSV Files to the RTG

Note In versions prior to 1.4, File Lists could only be executed by the RTG if they were located on the RTG itself. gRPC users sent the corresponding file path to the RTG. In version 1.4 and later, gRPC users should execute File Lists by reading the files locally and sending the Target Configurations to the RTG over gRPC.
