Chapter 3: AdminHD
Configuration Files
AdminHD Files (on your computer)
AdminHD cannot edit the config.tcl and gui_config.tcl files directly. Instead, it downloads the online
configuration (running in memory) from the mc²56 MKII, and saves it locally onto your computer as a .csv or .slx
file. These file types can then be opened, edited and saved by any AdminHD computer.
Once editing is complete, you can choose to either update the online configuration (in temporary memory) or
export and upload new versions of the cold start .tcl files (recommended for permanent changes).
Organising Your Files
The following files are created by AdminHD and stored locally on your computer:
·
config.csv - created when you save the AdminHD configuration. This is a .csv file which can be opened
by AdminHD or imported into a 3rd party editor such as MS Excel.
You can give this file any name as long as it keeps the .csv suffix. It is a good idea to keep "config" in the name
to distinguish it from other .csv files.
·
signallist.slx - created when you save a Signal List from the ‘Signal List Editor’. This is a .slx file which
can only be opened by AdminHD.
You can give this file any name as long as it keeps the .slx suffix.
·
config.tcl and gui_config.tcl - are the cold start configuration files exported from AdminHD. They are
stored locally on your computer, in preparation for an upload to the mc²56 MKII control system.
DO NOT rename these files, or edit them using an application other than AdminHD. Otherwise, they cannot be
read by the control system! If you wish to keep copies of ‘older’ versions, store them in a sub folder or change
the filename.
·
systemlist.csv - can be exported to produce a parts list for the hardware defined within your configuration.
It is a .csv file which can be opened by a 3rd party editor, such as MS Excel, in order to print or view the
data.
·
config.bfe - exported for use with a BFE controller system. For more details, please contact your local
Lawo representative or email support@lawo.com .
·
remote.log - created when you save the contents of the ‘Remote Log’ window as a text file.
·
system_log_message.log - can be downloaded from the mc²56 MKII control system.
Create a backup folder to store copies of the current configuration files before you begin editing.
When using both AdminHD and mxGUI, you could create a master folder for the system, with separate sub
folders for AdminHD and mxGUI.
