The configuration of the OhmPi file `config.py` tells the software how the hardware is set up, cabled and configured.
The configuration of the OhmPi file `config.py` tells the software how the hardware is set up, cabled and configured.
In certain cases, it also allows you to define hardware specifications, such as the maximum voltage that a specific MUX board can handle.

The configuration file defines how the OhmPi system is assembled and is expected to behave. It has a different purpose than the measurement settings which define the acquisition parameters. Several combinations of `settings`_ can be handled by one configuration specified in a config.py file.
