This window provides an alternative method of viewing (but not setting) the LI-7500
configuration status.

Menu Description

File Menu

The File menu contains commands that allow you to open and save existing configuration
files, and to exit the program.

When you choose Open Configuration, the Open dialog appears (below), where you can
search for existing LI-7500 configuration files (denoted by a .L75 file extension).
