5.9 Preferences

Within the tab folder “Preferences”, there are two settings:

•

Activating the check box “Log protocol into file TWNConfig.log” will save all output, which
appears in the list box “Protocol”, into the file “TWNConfig.log”. The file is located in the folder
TWNConfig resides.

•

Activating the checkbox “Slow down start of boot loader on HID keyboard devices” will do a
somewhat slower activation of the boot loader of a TWN3 device. This may prevent from
problems in activating the boot loader, which have been seen on specific PCs.
