Configuration File

A configuration file is relatively short and simple can be specified using the --config option.

If the --config option is not set, then an attempt to find a configuration file at the following path locations occurs:-

  • ~/.digital-multimeter
  • /etc/digital-multimeter

Use the --verbose CLI switch to examine which config file is being read.

Settings provided in configuration files always override their equivalent environment value settings.

The configuration file is standard config file format and requires a [digital-multimeter] section as shown in the sample.

Sample configuration file:- 

[digital-multimeter]
model = Tecpel_DMM8062
connect = /dev/ttyUSB0
