You can specify Docklight Scripting's behavior via three different types of user configuration data:
Saving and Loading Project Data
The project data includes:
•Additional Project Settings: communication mode, COM ports used, COM port settings (baud rate, parity, ...)
•Documentation contents
The project is saved in a Docklight project file (.ptp file) using the menu File > 
Save Project or File > Save Project As...
It is generally recommended to save your project before starting a test run.
NOTE: Saving your project only stores the project's sequences, settings, and Documentation Area data. If you want to save a log of the communication during a test run, see section logging and analyzing a test.
Loading a project is done using the File > 
Open Project... menu.
Saving and Loading Scripts
Docklight script code for automated testing tasks is saved in a separate file (.pts file). Use the menu Scripting > Save Script or Scripting > Save Script As...
Saving and Loading Program Options
Docklight Options (text formatting, control-character behaviors, a.s.o) can be modified by using the Docklight Options dialog (menu Tools > 
Options...).
TIP: When running your script, you may want to use a specific set of Options to ensure that Docklight creates the communication and log output in a well-defined format. Use the SaveProgramOptions and LoadProgramOptions methods to create an options file and load the options at the start of your script.
Using Project and Script Pairs: _auto.pts
In most Docklight Scripting applications, a Docklight script (.pts file) requires an accompanying project (.ptp file). You can use the following naming scheme to enable automatic loading and script start:
myproject.ptp
myproject_auto.pts
If the two files are located in the same folder, Docklight Scripting will perform the following additional operations:
•If myproject.ptp is opened (either double-click in Windows Explorer, or using menu File > Open Project...), Docklight Scripting also opens myproject_auto.pts alongside, if not already open.
•If myproject_auto.pts is opened, Docklight Scripting also opens myproject.ptp alongside, if not already open.
•If 
Start communication is executed, the communication port is opened and the script is started.
NOTE: If myproject.ptp is opened in Docklight (non-scripting), a warning appears that this seems to be a project with script support and its use is limited in Docklight (non-scripting).
NOTE: The OpenProject and StartCommunication script methods are not affected by the _auto.pts behavior.
