EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST, EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST, and other EPICS CA variables | Used by EPICS Channel Access for PV discovery and connections. |
STRIP_FILE_SEARCH_PATH | Platform path-list used to find a bare startup .stp filename. |
STRIP_HELP_PATH | Local file or URL opened by Help > Help. If it cannot open, the application shows brief built-in guidance. |
QTSTRIPTOOL_ARCHIVER_URL | Overrides the EPICS Archiver Appliance retrieval root or data/getData.json endpoint. |
QT_QPA_PLATFORM, QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE, and other standard Qt variables | Interpreted by Qt for platform and appearance behavior. |
The default Archiver retrieval root is http://asddtn03.aps4.anl.gov:17668/retrieval. Set an override before launching Qt StripTool when your site uses another service. See historical data.
Legacy X resource and printer environment variables are not consumed by the Qt program. See compatibility for the known differences.
