6 - Load/Save Configuration Data Menu
This menu allows user configurations to be
saved and reloaded onto other Falcons. The
example below shows how Windows HyperTerminal
application software is used to perform the
load/save functions. Before starting, make sure
the HyperTerminal properties are set correctly to
perform load/save.
Select the Properties menu (under File ) to
establish a Direct Connection through an available
COM Port. This port should be set to
9600 Baud ,
8 Data bits , NO Parity , 1 Stop bit , and
NO Flow control. Once this is complete, select the
Settings tab for additional changes.
The parameters under the Settings tab and
ASCII Setup tab should reflect what is shown
here.
To save configuration settings, select option 1 from
the Load/Save Configuration Data Menu. Then
select
Transfer/Capture Text file from
the menu at the top of the HyperTerminal screen.
Specify a name by which to save the file and click on
the
Start button .
Press the Enter (
↵
) key on the keyboard
and the download will begin. Wait until the line
display stops and then select
Transfer/Capture
Text/Stop from the menu at the top of the
HyperTerminal screen. Press the Enter (
↵
) key
to return to the Load/Save Configuration Menu.
Before the configuration can be loaded onto other
Falcons, it must be checked for accuracy. Blank
spaces or unwanted characters, such as the “Press
<enter> to download the file” text, may be saved
into the beginning of the configuration file. Open
the file in notepad and examine the first few lines.
Simply delete any characters that were accidentally
embedded into the file.
