How can I modify the standard settings ?

[Rainer]

Hello everybody,

I would like to override the default values of hamlib (for the serial interface, the baud rate, etc.), but I don't know where to store them and where to write them down. There are several programs (for example sgcontrol) which rely on these settings. Where can I change and store them?

The structure rig_state contains the modifiable values.  The defaults are set from the rig_caps structures found in the individual backends.  The application calls the frontend function rig_init which reads the rig_cap from the back end. The application then modifies the rig_state to change any defaults it wants.

eg (taken from rigctl.c)
    if (ptt_type != RIG_PTT_NONE)
        my_rig->state.pttport.type.ptt = ptt_type;
    if (dcd_type != RIG_DCD_NONE)
        my_rig->state.dcdport.type.dcd = dcd_type;
    if (ptt_file)
        strncpy(my_rig->state.pttport.pathname, ptt_file, FILPATHLEN);
    if (dcd_file)
        strncpy(my_rig->state.dcdport.pathname, dcd_file, FILPATHLEN);
    /* FIXME: bound checking and port type == serial */
    if (serial_rate != 0)
        my_rig->state.rigport.parm.serial.rate = serial_rate;

Or if you mean permanently you would have to modify the rig_cap table.

hope this helps
