One Configuration folder with 2 ini files

Hello
For my Maho I would like to make a second configuration with horizontal Z axis.

The Maho has a removable milling head and a second horizontal spindle.

For working with the horizontal spindle I would like to create a second configuration with Z axis horizontal.



in order not to have to maintain now 2 configurations but also tool tables, my question:

can I simply in the configuration folder add a second Ini where I parameterize the axis for horizontal spindle setup.

Probably also a separate *.var since I will certainly have other zero offsets.

but the rest could probably stay?
so that I would have to implement everything that I might add to the machine only in one configuration.

 

Thanks for the help, seems to have worked.

this is my current configuration

github.com/DoWerna/maho_retrofit

I created a new horizontal.hal and horizontal.ini in the existing folder.

the alternative configuration uses the existing tool table, but its own .var.

so exactly as i imagined

I am thrilled by the versatile configurability of linuxcnc again and again, very fine!
