The [configFile] should be replace with the path and file name of the configuration file

==iKin Cartesian interface configuration files==
Through the configuration files it is possible to determine which is the kinematic description that is needed and which of the parts are needed to control each of the arms.

The examples presented are for the left arm, the format is the same for the right arm with minor changes (basically changing the word "left" to "right").
====Server config file====
<code>
//the kinematics_file refers to the kinematics description file
kinematics_file kinematics_left_arm.ini
robot vizzy
//the part is either the left_arm or the right_arm
part left_arm
//local port for the ikin server
local cartesianController/left_arm

ControllerName vizzy/cartesianController/left_arm
// the robot is simulated @ 100Hz, hence let s give it some margin to respond
// we ll lower a bit the controller s speed

//the port name for to connect to the solver
