Once the connection has been established, switch to the "Configure" panel in VjControl. The list of loaded configuration files which can be selected will contain a new entry called "Active Configuration". Selecting this will display the current configuration of the VR Juggler application - all of the active components displayed as if they were just another configuration file.

Unlike a simple configuration file, changes to this database do not just change VjControl's internal representation. If the user removes a ConfigChunk from the Active Configuration, or copies a Chunk into it, or edits a Chunk and presses the "OK" or "Apply" button, VjControl will send a reconfiguration command across the network connection to the VR Juggler application. The application will process the reconfiguration command and send an updated snapshot of its configuration to VjControl.

Adding a new ConfigChunk to the Active Configuration (as opposed to copying a Chunk into it) does not send a reconfiguration command to the application, since assumably the new Chunk still needs to be edited by the user. The new Chunk won't be sent to the VR Juggler application until the user edits it and presses the "OK" or "Apply" button in the ConfigChunk editor window.
