c) Change the fifth line from
Preset File Name= <Setup.orb85setup>
to
Preset File Name= <Setup1.orb86setup>
d) From the text editor, save the edited file to the directory of your choice (usually
the default directory in step (a) above) as
Setup1.orb86setup
If you are using Notepad, make sure the file type is set to All Files types prior to
saving it. If you save it as a text file, it will not be recognized by 8600 PC Re-
mote.
e) Using 8600 PC Remote, find
Setup1.orb86setup
and restore it to your new
8600. The will restore all of the old 8500 setup parameters including network
settings. See
To restore archived presets, system files, and automation files
on
page 3-90 of your 8600 Operating Manual.
•
Restore manually
(the hard and error-prone way):
a) Use a plain text editor like Windows Notepad to open the
Setup.orb85setup
file that you saved in step (2.C) on page 3. Make sure your text editor is set to
view all file types, not just text files. See step (6.H) on page 10 for the default
locations of the files.
b) You will see all of the settings in plain text. Each line contains the setting of one
setup parameter. Most lines show the settings in the same way that they appear
in the 8600’s GUI. In a few cases, numbers that contain decimal points in the
8600 GUI are represented as integers (without decimal points) in the text file.
For example, a setting of 9.00 dB would appear as
900
in the text file .
Use this data to manually set the setup controls in the 8600’s GUI or in 8600
PC Remote. In each line, if you see “
D:
”, ignore the numbers following it.
This concludes the update. If you experienced any problems with the update process or
have any other 8600 questions that the 8600 Operating Manual cannot answer, please
contact Orban Customer Service. However, before calling please try to find the answers
in the manual.
