6 THE MENU
At the top of the MTL83xC Configurator window is a menu that contains the
following items: File, Edit, Devices, and Help. Click on the menu name to drop its
menu down and then click on the menu item to execute that function. The Menu
items are explained below. Notice that the menu also shows the shortcut keys to
access the function without using the menu.
6 .1 File
The File menu allows you to Save and Load the current configuration as well as Exit
the program.
Saving and loading the MTL83xC configuration is very useful. It allows you to pre-
configure systems and save that configuration to your computer. When the systems
are then installed the configuration can be loaded from the computer disk and
downloaded to the units. This also allows you to keep a backup of the configuration
of a system in case an MTL838C needs to be replaced or for some reason gets
inadvertently altered. Note that all configuration data is stored in the MTL838C, so
replacing MTL831Cs does not require downloading of the configuration. It is a good
idea to consider where the configurations will be stored on the computer and how
they will be named so they may easily be identified with a particular system.
The following window appears when you select “Save Configuration”
