Saving M4x Blade Configurations
When the USB cable is connected to the Raven M4x SNR Voter/Comparator, and the M4x Communication
System Software is active and communicating with the M4x SNR Voter/Comparator, then the M4x
Communication System Software is in control of the SNR voting group configuration. Any Blade settings that
are saved while the M4x Communication System Software is active are saved to the Windows registry of the
PC controlling the Blade’s USB port. If the M4x Communication System Software is re-started, the settings
from the registry are read upon software start-up, and the M4x SNR Voter/Comparator is reconfigured as it
was when the settings were saved to registry.
The Raven M4x SNR Voter/Comparator does not require that a PC be connected during normal voting
operations. After any SNR voting groups have been configured (using the M4x Communication System
Software), vote group setting can be burned to flash memory on the Raven M4x SNR Voter/Comparator. After
flashing the settings, removing the USB cable and cycling power, the Raven M4x SNR Voter/Comparator is
ready to operate independently of the M4x Communication System Software.
To save your vote group settings to flash, click on “Save Settings to Firmware…” from the Raven M4x
Communication Software Actions menu and follow the prompts.
