READING A SYSTEM CONFIGURATION FILE
Normally the first operation performed after starting CPS is reading a system configuration
file from the disk to the edit buffer. A system configuration contains all of the key definitions
for the two programmable Model 4010 panels and all channels. After editing the
configuration, it is written back to the disk using the Write function.
To read a configuration file, press R from the MAIN menu, shown in Figure 4-1.
