+<h2>Profiler Settings File </h2>
+<p>The Profiler command-line tool that executes on a target device reads its settings from a Profiler settings file. The GUI version creates a settings file from user imput, and then calls the command-line executable. The commands that a settings file can contain are shown in Table 1.</p>
+<h5>Syntax</h5>
+<ul>
+ <li>whitespaces at the start and end of lines are ignored</li>
+ <li>comments start with a semicolon (;) and the rest of the line is ignored</li>
+</ul>
+<h5>Limitations</h5>
+<ul>
+ <li>settings file contents are case sensitive </li>
+ <li>the settings file is limited to a maximum of 4096 characters</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The settings file contents must conform to the syntax described above. You can generate a valid configuration file by starting the Carbide.c++ Profiler GUI, selecting suitable settings, and then exiting the GUI. By default, the settings file created is called <span class="code">C:\Data\CProfSettings.txt</span>.</p>
