9 Syntax of the configuration string
10 The device configuration string should follow the syntax:
11
12 device[[|option1|value1]...[|optionN|valueN]]
13
14 If the specified device does not support a certain pair of
15 option|value, this will be silently ignored by the opening function.
16 device should be the name of a eegdev plugin or any. In the later case,
17 it will try to open one of the devices supported by the installed plug‐
18 ins.
19
20 Syntax of the configuration files
21 The configuration files are made of statements (at most one per line)
22 following this syntax (whitespace are ignored):
23 option = value
24
25 Comments are preceded by the '#' character:
26
27 # comment line 1
28 # comment line 2
29 option = value #comment2
