Recreating the database.dat file

Performing this function is an easy way to LOSE ALL OF YOUR MOTOR POSITIONS!

To convert the contents of properly formatted text file into a database.dat file:

  1. Stop DCSS and/or make sure that no DCSS is running.

  2. ps -ef | grep dcss
    

    Verify that DCSS is not running.

  3. cd ~/release-3_2/dcss/linux

  4. ./dcss -r fileName

    where fileName is the name of a properly formatted configuration file.

  5. The database.dat file has now been created with the new configuration.
