It is also possible to choose all the other categories to narrow the possible mapping options list.

Note the "Use with CHARON" column contains the actual configuration options for each available device to be inserted, if needed, in the CHARON configuration file (see below).

Collecting the configuration strings

To collect the actual configuration strings to be used in the CHARON configuration file, select the target device and press the "Copy path to clipboard" button:

The selected configuration string will be copied to the clipboard, it can then be pasted to the CHARON configuration file (using the "CTRL-V" keys combination for example).

The buttons "Open" and "Save As..." help to open up the displayed options in form of text file and save this text file under some given name.
