Precis SD Instruction Manual
Opening an .xcl Configuration File
The process of modifying an .xcl configuration file starts by opening it with XNConnect. After the
modifications are complete, the new configuration information
must
be loaded onto the system to
implement the changes.
Important: Even if XNConnect is already on your PC, install the newest version that shipped on
the same CD as the .xcl configuration file. We strongly recommend uninstalling the old version
of XNConnect before installing a new version.
If you cannot locate the compatible .xcl configuration file for your system, contact technical support
(see page 32).
Caution: Use XNConnect only if you need to load or reload the .xcl configuration file or modify your
system’s configuration from the original specification. Make a copy of the .xcl file every time it is
modified.
To open an .xcl file:
1.
Launch XNConnect (see page 46).
2.
From the Getting Started dialog box, click Open Configuration File.
(If the dialog box does not appear, from the File menu select Open.)
3.
Use the standard Open dialog box to locate and open a compatible configuration file (the file
extension is .xcl).
The default location is in the APConfig/XCL Samples folder on the
AMX AutoPatch CD
.
4.
From the File menu, select Save As, make a duplicate copy of the file with a new name, and save it
to the PC. (We
strongly
recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)
The .xcl file is ready to be modified. After changes are made, the new file
must
be loaded onto the
system to implement the changes (see page 54).
