Channel Map Write / Read Function
Using the FTG Configuration Application
Once created, a Channel Map, can be written to and read from an FTG card with the FTG Configuration
Application. A FTG card must be installed in a TV/STB and a PC with the FTG Configuration Application connect-
ed to the FTG card as outlined in the
Setup
. A Channel Map must be stored in a FTG card to provide the TV/STB
with a list of channels to tune. If a FTG card has a Channel Map it can be transferred to the FTG Configuration
Application and saved in a configuration file. A Channel Map that has been saved can be used at a later time.
See
The Configuration File
. The configuration file may be opened for reference or for editing purposes. If
changes are made to the Channel Map it may be saved again as the same name, replacing the existing file, or
saved as a new name preserving the previous file. Also, if additional FTG cards are to be configured at a later
time, a saved configuration file may be opened and used.
