only four essential parameters need to be reviewed and altered to use the
file with another transceiver.
A Configuration File (data file) will make it easy to apply your unique
settings to any radio(s) you wish. Configuration files will also provide
you with a tool to restore parameters to a “known good” set, in the event
that a parameter is improperly set and performance is affected.
(
See “Using Configuration Scripts” on Page 98
for detailed instructions
and a sample configuration file.)
Using Configuration Scripts
Configuration Scripts can be created and downloaded from the trans-
ceiver that contain a wealth of information on the unit. This file can
serve many purposes, not the least of which is to keep a permanent
“snapshot” of the unit’s configuration at a point in time. These files can
also be used to view the setup of a unit without needing to connect to it.
Examining archival files can be a useful source of information during
troubleshooting.
In the next few sections you will learn about the contents of the file and,
how to use it as a template for configuring multiple transceivers with the
same profile. Ultimately, standardized files can be uploaded into the
transceiver to speed up the installation process.
Configuration Files can also be uploaded into a transceiver to restore the
settings of a unit using a previously-saved configuration of the unit. This
is particularly convenient after finishing a test using some experimental
settings.
Sample of an Exported Configuration File
The following is a sample of a typical configuration file as produced by
a transceiver containing over 150 parameters; many of which are user
editable. The presentation has been slightly altered to allow notes to
appear below associated parameter lines. Some of the values used in the
calibration of the unit’s built-in test equipment have been deleted to
reduce space. This presentation is offered as a guide to the type of infor-
mation contained in the file.
See “Editing Configuration Files” on
Page 104
for further information.
NOTE:
The parameter names and the data values from the Exported
Configuration File are shown in bolded text. Any description
will be found below in an indented paragraph. Descriptions for
parameters that are functionally identical to both COM1 &
COM2 are not repeated.
