TRANSFERRING CUSTOM ENGINEERING UNITS

When custom engineering units are defined, they are stored in a database that exists on the PC running ConfigM30. If a Model 30 gauge is programmed
with a custom engineering unit and then connected to ConfigM30 running on another machine, the name of the unit will not be recognized by ConfigM30,
although it will successfully connect to the unit. However, the unit name is not stored in the gauge and therefore will be displayed as “Custom” with a number
after it (e.g., “Custom 14”) to make the unit name unique. You can change the unknown unit names in the Change Engineering Units dialog box.

If you wish to transfer the entire database of custom engineering units, you can copy the file named

ConfigM30Units.ini, located in the directory where

ConfigM30 was installed – which is typically

C:\Program Files\Crystal Engineering\ConfigM30. Simply copy this file to the second computer running ConfigM30

(overwriting any existing

ConfigM30Units.ini), and all of the custom units will be transferred. However, any unit that was defined on the second computer will

be lost when its

ConfigM30Units.ini is overwritten. There is no way to merge two ConfigM30Units.ini files.

Transfer an entire database of custom engineering units with the ConfigM30Units.ini file.

You can also use configuration files to transfer units. By saving a configuration file on one PC and then loading it on another, any custom units in the configu-
ration will be added to the custom units on the second PC. Existing custom units on the second PC will be preserved.

WATER REFERENCE SELECTION

The Water Reference menu is used to change the inches of water temperature reference on the LP port. When inches of water is included in the engineering
units of the LP port, the Water Reference list will be available and allows you to easily change from 4 °C (39.2 °F), 15.6 °C (60 °F), and 20 °C (68 °F) water references.
