To find available .hwi files
Hwi files are located in the selected controller directory, displayed toward the top of the window (C:\MTS
793\Controller\controller name). If you want to change the .hwi file with this setting, use the dropdown menu
to find the desired .hwi file, or browse to the controller directory to review the available .hwi file names.
About changing .hwi files
It is important to keep in mind that Station Configuration files are based on the hardware content of their
associated .hwi files. If you select an .hwi file in your controller directory that has different hardware content
(than the .hwi file used to create your existing Station Configuration files), you may not be able to open your
existing Station Configuration files.
Multiple .hwi files
Because of hardware compatibility issues, there is typically only one .hwi file per controller directory. However,
.hwi file content includes settings that affect hardware behavior without changing hardware content. For
instance, you can set system rate and choose whether a particular conditioner is an AC conditioner or DC
conditioner. Because of this, some users may create multiple .hwi files for a controller directory, each having
identical hardware content but different hardware settings. In this case, any of the .hwi files selected will be
compatible with existing Station Configuration files.
