Documenting Turbine Configuration Modifications

[bpaul4]

Turbine Lite uses a configuration file to set many runtime options for submitted jobs, most of which are pre-set server information based on the software version. However, there are a few options which control the run behavior that users can modify to suit their needs. The "User Settings" section of the file passes timeout values which cap how many minutes Turbine will let a certain action occur before force-stopping.

On a local machine, the file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Turbine\Lite\Clients\AspenSinterConsumerConsole.exe.config and requires administrative access to save edits. FOQUS and Aspen need to be closed when you save the file so Turbine can update its config for new instances. Lines 93-108 set the "User Settings", which include the timeout for the total run, the timeout for the run setup, and the timeout for the post initialization run. These values are all in minutes.
