h4. Device Scripts for a profile
From 1.3 every profile can establish a configuration script. The script will be executed before the profile is loaded.
Usually a script will configure a certain device but it could include any other task.
To specify the script to be executed include is full path on the profile data section
{code:none}
[data]
name = profile
script = /home/user/scripts/script1.py
{code}
*Example:*
Configure a Logitech c920 to a power line frequency of 50Hz
{code:none}
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/webcam -c power_line_frequency=1
{code}
