To edit a configuration value, click the Edit Value button to display the dialog below.
When there are multiple configuration sets, the tabs at the top of the dialog will allow the set currently being edited to be changed (10). Configuration parameters can specify an editing widget. When a widget is defined, the widget will be displayed for that parameter and the parameter can be edited using it (11). Widgets may be sliders, spin boxes or radio buttons. When no widget is specified, a text box is used as the default. Parameters may also have limits specified. When the widget type is a slider or spin box, these limits are required. When not specified in these cases, the widget will default to a text box. #br

Slider | ![]() |
Select a value between the specified minimum and maximum values using a slider. Values can also be entered using a text box. |
Spinner | ![]() |
Select a value between the specified minimum and maximum values using a spin box. Fractional values are based on the specified minimum and maximum values. However, negative numbers cannot be specified. For example, if the maximum value is 10.00, the fractional part will be displayed to two decimal places. |

For those parameters that have limits specified, range checks will be performed. Parameters that fail the range check are highlighted in red in the dialog. When the OK button is pressed, an error dialog is displayed if there are any parameters that fail their range check.
