Opening saved configuration files
You can restore system hardware settings and channels using configuration files you
saved earlier. You can choose to restore the channels and hardware settings or just the
hardware settings by selecting the file type to open.
NOTE: When a configuration file is opened, the current configuration is lost. Be
sure to use the “Save a copy” command in the File menu, if you want to save the
current system configuration.
To open a saved configuration:
1. In Configuration Manager, select File | Open . The Open dialog box appears.
2. Choose the file type you want to open, either .cdf or .cfg, using the File of type drop
down list.
Opening a .cdf file changes the channel configuration settings and keeps the
existing hardware settings. Opening a .cfg file changes both channel and hardware
settings.
3. Find and select the file name you want to open, then click Open . All hardware
settings take immediate effect. If you opened a .cdf file, the new channels are also
available for you to select in Profile applications.
NOTE: If there are hardware differences between Profile XP systems, unusable
configuration items are ignored. Also, the settings for video inputs/outputs are
assigned beginning with the video board closest to slot 1.
