Details on config file
- "ssd" : letter of the disk which will be used primarily for this plotter (UPPERCASE)
- "ssd2" : optional field specifying the letter of the second temp location (UPPERCASE)
More details of inner working
- Plotters are spinned up on each SSD with the minimal time difference of "spinupMinutes".
- The settings in the .json file are reloaded periodically, so you don't need to restart the script for changing the settings.
- After the space left on the target is less than 1TB, ploting will continue on the next available target from the config.
- When there will be less than 1TB space left on each available target, plotting will end
- You can use network path as a target (\computer\share), but there will be no check for empty space, you need to watch it for yourself.
