Browse Taurus configurations

Taurus provides a user interface for browsing TaurusMainWindow settings files (.ini files). It allows advanced users to inspect and edit the perspectives stored in a Taurus GUI configuration. The configuration tree is organized in branches, with each perspective at the root of a branch.

Launch the configuration browser

Browse the configuration of a TaurusMainWindow-based application, such as a TaurusGUI application, with:

taurus config [<configuration.ini>]

Run the following command for more details:

taurus config --help

The figure below shows a configuration containing three perspectives: LAST, second_perspective, and third_perspective. LAST is a special perspective stored automatically when the GUI closes; it reflects the state of the GUI at that time. The other perspectives were saved explicitly during the TaurusGUI session.
