6.5 Loading Configuration Files and
Databases
Certain files may take extended periods of time to load
directly from a PC to the
920i . For fastest loading times,
using a Flash drive is recommended.
It is also recommended to create a folder matching
each
920i ’s unit ID number, if using multiple 920i units.
When loading configuration files, the unit will load the
file contained in a folder matching its UID# (the default
UID# is 1). If no folder matching the UID is found, the
unit will load the first file found.
6.5.1 Loading Configuration Files
When a file is loaded from a USB flash Drive, the
calibration is always included and will overwrite
existing calibration. To eliminate this, the 920i
configuration file should be downloaded to the
indicator before calibration is completed.
Note
Note
If loading a configuration file from a UID
subdirectory, ensure the configuration file
does not change the unit ID. Otherwise, a
.COD file in that subdirectory will not be recognized until
the UID is manually reverted to its original number.
Important
File names are limited to eight characters.
1. Using a PC, copy the desired configuration file
to the flash drive.
2. Connect the flash drive to the 920i ’s type-A
USB connector.
