XML Configuration File
Some XML editors require an associated
XML Schema file
(i.e. EMSSettings.xsd) to be in the
same
directory
as the .xml configuration file to work correctly. Others such as
XML Notepad
do not.
Do not edit the .xml configuration file with a
word-processor
such as Microsoft Word, as this may
corrupt the file
.
The EMS-05 uses a single
Extensible Markup Language
(.xml) configuration file. It may be examined and/or
edited using a
USB stick
to transfer the file to a PC or laptop with a suitable
XML or text editor
installed.
XML Notepad
is free and open-source (FOSS) option that may be without restriction copied, distributed, and
used, including for
commercial purposes
. Licence information and download options are available from the
Microsoft GitHub website
: https://github.com/microsoft/XmlNotepad

Export to USB
The factory-default .xml configuration file is less than
10 Kilobytes
(10KB) in size. Thousands of
copies can be easily stored on a modest USB stick with a 128 Megabyte (MB) storage capacity.
