# Settings Configuration
Stabilizer allows for run-time settings configurations using the `miniconf.py` utility script. This
script is in the root of the Stabilizer github repository.
## Setup
In order to use `miniconf.py`, run the following command:
```
python -m pip install gmqtt
```
## Usage
The `miniconf.py` script utilizes a unique "device prefix". The device prefix is always of the
form `dt/sinara/<app>/<mac-address>`, where `<app>` is the name of the application and
`<mac-address>` is the MAC address of the device, formatted with delimiting dashes.
Settings have a `path` and a `value` being configured. The `value` parameter is JSON-encoded data
and the `path` value is a path-like string.
As an example, for configuring `dual-iir`'s `stream_target`, the following information would be
used:
* `path` = `stream_target`
* `value` = `{"ip": [192, 168, 0, 1], "port": 4000}`
```
python miniconf.py --broker localhost dt/sinara/dual-iir/00-11-22-33-44-55 stream_target='{"ip": [192, 168, 0, 1], "port": 4000}'
```
The prefix can be found for a specific device by looking at the topic on which telemetry that is
being published.
Refer to the [application documentation]({{site.baseurl}}/#applications) for the exact settings and values exposed
for each application.
The rules for constructing `path` values are documented in [`miniconf`'s
documentation](https://github.com/quartiq/miniconf#settings-paths)
Refer to the documentation for [Miniconf]({{site.baseurl}}/firmware/miniconf/enum.Error.html) for a
description of the possible error codes that `miniconf.py` may return if the settings update was
unsuccessful.

Settings are specific to an application. If two identical settings exist for two different
applications, each application maintains its own independent value.

settings.
