Hi David,

I've used IDL's IDLffXMLSAX objects to write a very convenient
XML configuration parser. My object inherits IDLffXMLSAX and
parses configuration into a hash of configuration options and their
values. I then use the hash to set up my program.

Here's a configuration file for the camera component of the instrument,
just to give a sense of what's been working for me:

<camera object="fabcamera_opencv"
greyscale="1"
order="1"
dimensions="[640,480]">
</camera>

The parser object is on github at
https://github.com/davidgrier/nufab/blob/master/objects/misc /fab_configurationparser__define.pro

TTFN,

David
