Installation and Operation Manual
Opening an Existing Data File
To open an existing data file, either select the
Open
option from the
File
menu or click the
Open
button on the toolbar.
An
Open
dialog is displayed. Browse for the *.sc file (Easy48 Matrix Site Configuration File) that is to be opened and
click
Open
. A password dialog is displayed:
Data files can be issued with a site file password in the
Passwords
screen (see page 16). This password must then be
entered in order to access and edit the file. If a site file password has been issued, enter this password in the password
dialog and click
OK
. Passwords are case-sensitive. If the correct password is entered, the main
Easy48
window is
displayed and the user can edit the data file. If an incorrect password is entered, an error message is displayed and the
user must try to open the file again.
If no password has been issued to the site file, there is no need to enter any text. Simply click
OK
.
Downloading Data
When a site file has been created and the user is ready to download the information to the MegaPower 48+ system,
either select the
Download
option from the
File
menu or click the
Download
button on the toolbar. The
Download
dialog is displayed:
Data can be downloaded from the PC to the MegaPower 48+ via an Ethernet connection or an RS232 serial port
connection (see page 6). If using a serial port connection at a setting of 38400 baud, the download can take from 5
minutes in a Mode 1 system configuration up to 20 minutes in a Mode 3 system configuration. All downloads via an
Ethernet connection should take less than 4 minutes, so this is the recommended download method.
