ST Microelectronics 3 Axis Digital Accelerometer Installer
==========================================================
General
-------
This installer package is composed of 3 files:
ReleaseNote.txt - this file
setup.exe - an InstallShield executable
sample_st_accel.cfg - a sample installer custom configuration file
Installer Options
-----------------
Calling setup.exe without command line options results in a default install of the STMicroelectronics Accelerometer sensor drivers.
The installer also provides the following features selected via command line switches specified when
running the installer executable setup.exe:
/? or /help
Provides a list of the supported command line switches
/s
This runs the installer in silent mode - no pop up windows or dialogs are presented to the user.
The system will not be rebooted automatically.
/v"EXTRACTDRIVERS=<path>"
Extracts the drivers contained in the installer package to the specified folder.
/v"LOGFILE=<path-to-log-file>"
By default the installer creates a default log file located in c:\accelmagsetup.log.
This option allows the user to specify a user defined path and name for the log file, for example /v"LOGFILE=c:\Log Files\setup.log".
Customization via st_accel.cfg
------------------------------
This installer supports customizing the ST Microelectronics Freefall Protection configuration data via a text file named st_accel.cfg.
The file is read during the install stage and custom settings present within the file are used to override the default values present in
the installer binary.
The custom configuration file must be a text file named st_accel.cfg and must be placed in the same folder as
the installer executable setup.exe.
No command line switches need to be provided to setup.exe, the installer will detect the presence of the
st_accel.cfg file and load the custom settings from it. If the file is not present, default values embedded in the
installer will be used.
If the configuration file is present but one or more parameters are missing, or the lines are not formatted correctly, the
installation will fail.
Comments
Comment lines should begin with a #
Inline comments are allowed and must be preceeded with #.
The comment is considered from the first # to the end of the line.
The required parameters and expected format are as follows:
Version=<version>
The version number of the st_accel.cfg file e.g Version=1.0
Date=<MM/DD/YYYY>
The date the configuration file was last modified e.g Date=05/18/2012
Evt1_Threshold=<integer>
The threshold for the event. Valid range 0-127.
e.g Evt1_Threshold=6
Evt1_Duration=<integer>
The minimum duration of the event before a freefall interrupt is generated. Valid range: 0 - 127.
eg Evt1_Duration=35
A sample configuration file sample_st_accel.cfg is provided. In order to use the sample file, it must be renamed to st_accel.cfg
before running setup.exe.
