Manual editing of the XML files created by TrafMeter

Q2001

TrafMeter uses the XML format as a basic format for the configuration files and reports. Be careful while modifying XML files created by TrafMeter using a third-party tool, because TrafMeter saves its own documents in the UTF-8 encoding.

UTF-8 encodes each Unicode character as a variable number of 1 to 6 octets, where the number of octets depends on the integer value assigned to the Unicode character. It is an efficient encoding of Unicode documents that use US-ASCII characters because it represents each character in the range U+0000 through U+007F as a single octet.

 Note

• Don't use editors not supporting UTF-8 encoding (for example, ES-Computing Editplus, FAR Manager built-in editor and etc)
• Use editors supporting UTF-8 encoding (for example, Altova XML Spy, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and etc)

It is highly recommended to open the XML document after its modifying in Microsoft Internet Explorer for a check-up.
