the
Setting
columns are sent to the lantern, and

Device

Creating a Configuration File
Different M650H models require different amounts
of power to operate at a given configuration (Flash
Code, Effective Intensity, etc.). This is due to
efficiency differences among LED colours.
Because of this, when you create a Configuration
File, you should be connected to a lantern that has
the same model number as those that you intend to
program with that configuration. This prevents you
from specifying a configuration that requires more
energy than is available to the lantern.
To create a Configuration File:
1. Remove the lantern’s Bottom Cover and plug the
USB cable into the USB port.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to an
empty USB port on your computer.
3. Open 650DM on your computer and login as
Distributor. 650DM may take a moment to find and
connect to the lantern.
4. Click
Configuration
on the
Bottom Bar
. The
Configuration
page appears.
5. Configure the settings as required to meet the
customer’s request.
6. In the
File Actions
area on the right side of the
page, click
Save Settings to File…
. The
Save As
dialog box appears.
7. Navigate to and save the file to an appropriate
location. The file is saved in .DCF format. You can
now download this Configuration File to as many
lanterns as you would like.
Reading a Configuration File
If you have several Configuration Files stored on your
computer, you can open each file to determine the
differences between them.
Each Configuration File contains settings for the
following parameters: Flash Code, Effective Intensity,
Automatic Light Control, D2N Transition, N2D
Transition, Switch Mode, User/Distributor Passcodes,
Latitude, Longitude, Transmissivity, and the Device
Access settings.
To read a Configuration File:
1. Open 650DM on your computer and login as
Distributor
. 650DM may take a moment to find
and connect to the lantern.
2. Click
Configuration
on the Bottom Bar. The
Configuration
page appears.
3. From the
File Actions
area, click
Get Settings
from File…
. The
Open
dialog box appears.
4. Navigate to the Configuration File you want to
view, and click
Open
. The file’s configuration
settings appear in the
Settings boxes
on the
Configuration Page
.
5. Repeat this procedure with each Configuration
File you want to view.
NOTE
Even though the configuration
information appears on screen, it is
not automatically downloaded to the
lantern. To download the configuration
to a lantern, you must first connect
to the lantern onto which you want
to load the settings, then click
Get
Settings from File
to open the
desired configuration, and then click
Send Settings To Device
.
The order in which you do this is important; if you
open the Configuration File and then connect to a
lantern, the lantern’s values overwrite the settings in
