3.3.2.3 Configure
All options selected within this menu are pending settings and will not take effect until the unit is
reconfigured. The settings are only saved when the unit is reconfigured and will be lost if the user
exits out of the configure menu or the unit is power cycled.
The options in this Menu will vary and depend upon the chosen coding scheme; this is stated in
the list below. It is recommended that the entry be done from top to bottom ensuring that only
applicable menus will be displayed. The Configure sub-menu may be viewed by selecting the
Configure option from the Select Board menu. The available options are detailed in Table 3.6.

3.3.2.3.1
Profiles
The user can store and recall configurations with clear user definable names. The stored file is
shared by all user interfaces so the GUI could be used to clone a configuration to several units
and the front panel could be used to retrieve this setting. The Profiles sub-menu allows the user to
access these configurations.
Note
The front panel is slightly more restrictive than the GUI due to a limited display and the key entry
system but is still easy to use.
To load, delete or create profiles:
1.
Select the Profiles option from the Configure sub-menu. The options displayed are detailed
in Table 3.7.
