Configuring RTG with the INI File or Through an Option String

RTG provides two ways to construct and apply certain initial configurations at initialization—through an INI file and option string.

  • INI File—(Required) Application configuration file that is created and set before starting RTG.
  • Option String—(Optional) Raw string containing sections, delimited by commas, that contain keys and associated values delimited by colons.

    • You can utilize both methods when configuring the RTG. However, when present, the option string is prioritized, thus any configuration made in the INI file can be overwritten through an optional override string.

    Note Any configuration applied through the option string override can also be made within the INI file.

    RTG’s API supports configurations—using either the INI file or option string—for the following RTG actions:

    • Create NI-RTG
    • Initialize
    • Create Coprocessor
    Note Use the RTG Configuration Utility to simplify configuration of the INI file. The Configuration File Utility only supports RTG systems using the Local API. Refer to Using the RTG Configuration Utility for more information.
