How to use the RadiMation® Global and Standalone configuration

Warning-48px.png
 Warning: This page is a draft

This application note describes how the RadiMation® global or standalone configuration can be used.

In RadiMation by default the configuration is stored globally. This means that all versions of RadiMation are using the same configuration. This configuration contains settings for RadiMation, for example the various paths, test sites and driver settings. When for example validating a newer version of RadiMation it can be useful to use a standalone configuration to not interfere with the currently used RadiMation version. When validation is done it is advised to select a global configuration.
