3.1 Configuration File
The first time you run DIFF_CALC, it will create a working directory with a default configuration file. This file tells the software where your initial working directory is located, and where to write a log file.
There is also a sample configuration file provided with the software called configfile_simple.xml. You can download the sample xml file by right clicking on the link and selecting "save link as".
The configfile_simple.xml file contains the following lines:
<!-- DTI initialization file -->
<!-- do not remove the above comment line -->
<!-- Turn on the ability to write all the statements to a logfile -->
<!-- 0 = no, 1 = yes to new file, 2 = yes to existing file (overwrite), and -->
<!-- 3 = yes to existing file (append) -->
<writelog>2</writelog>
<!-- If the user wants to write out a logfile, this is the path and filename -->
<logname>~/DIFF_CALC_WORK/log.txt</logname>
<!-- this tag defines the initial working directory. This should be where your data is contained -->
<!-- the default working directory is your home directory -->
<curdir>~</curdir>
<!-- desired image input and output type. Options are ANALYZE and NIFTI -->
<analyze_image_type>NIFTI</analyze_image_type>
More advanced settings can be set, and are described in the following section.
