CPD3 acquisition Configuration

Acquisition system configuration

The keys immediately below this are profile names that are selected by the application. For example, aerosol is the commonly used default profile. However, any non-empty name is acceptable and can be used to create customized configurations that can be selected at run time. In general, profile names should be all lower case to preserve case insensitivity. In the paths listed <PROFILE> is used as a placeholder to real profile name (e.g. replace <PROFILE> with aerosol for the default profile).
