The Signal Server is shipped with two demo configuration files (“server_config_comments.xml” and “server_config.xml”). Those files are showing exemplary configurations of the Signal Server. The “_commets.xml” file is equipped with additional comments to facilitate understanding the configuration of the Signal Server.
The Signal Server can be started by a quickstart where the file “server_config.xml” is automatically read (operating system dependent) or by passing an individual config file to the Signal Server.
signalserver --help
or
signalserver -h
signalserver your_config_file.xml
or
signalserver -f your_config_file.xml
signalserver -l
signalserver -o
q ... stop
r ... restart (problems with various DAQ devices – bugfix in progress)
l ... list possible hardware devices
h ... help
With the first start of the Signal Server, a folder named “tobi_sigserver_cfg” is automatically created within the users home folder. Two files named “server_config_comments.xml” and “server_config.xml” are located inside this folder.
Starting the Signal Server without any parameters automatically reads and starts the “server_config.xml” inside the “tobi_sigserver_cfg” folder (quickstart).
Starting the Signal Server without any parameters (quickstart), the program automatically reads and starts the “server_config.xml” inside the folder where the Signal Server is installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\TOBI SignalServer\server_config.xml).
To use a different configuration, another .xml file can be handed to the Signal Server either using the commandline or just dragging the respective file on the Signal Server executable or a link to it.
