Configuration Files
The behaviour of SaQC can be completely controlled by a text based configuration file.

Format
SaQC expects configuration files to be semicolon-separated text files with a
fixed header. Each row of the configuration file lists
one variable and one or several test functions that are applied on the given variable.

Header names
The header names are basically fixed, but if you really insist in custom
configuration headers have a look here.
