Warning

As of 2022, RAF has chosen not to maintain this tool.

• New analog cards mean configedit would require significant refactoring to be fully functional. Going forward, the nidas config file is hand edited by the RAF SEs.
• Unimplemented issues have been marked "Closed as not planned" and closed. Should development continue at a future date, these unimplemented issues can be found by looking for the grey circle icon with a slash or by going to the issues queue and filtering on "is:issue state:closed reason:not-planned"

configedit

The configuration editor, 'configedit', is a Qt based application that allows visualization of a nidas/nimbus configuration (e.g. default.xml) file.
