2.2. Menu Structure

2.2.1.

File Menu

The File menu from the opening screen allows the user to implement the following:

1. Load the Configurator text buffer with data held within a file on the Workstation. Note that the

buffer is separate from the diagram (graphical representation) of the system. The user is
prompted to build the diagram when loading the buffer.

2. Save the text buffer to a file on the Workstation. Since the buffer and diagram are separate,

the user is asked whether to save the existing buffer or rebuild it from the diagram.

3. Upload the System.INI file held within the Trusted

TM

System to the text buffer. The user is

prompted to build the diagram when uploading the buffer.

4. Download the text buffer contents to the System.INI file held in the Trusted

TM

System. The

user is prompted to specify communications settings (see section 2.2.3 below) if not already
set, and also to verify that the buffer and diagram have been synchronised.

For example – to download the data held in a file called NEWSYS.INI to the System.INI, first load the
NEWSYS.INI file into the text buffer and then download the text buffer to the Trusted

TM

System.

1. Erase the contents of the buffer.

2. Copy the contents of the buffer to the clipboard.

3. Print the contents of the buffer and displayed graphic diagram.

4. Import a configuration. This opens a Toolset application file (‘appli.cnx’, the connection table

source code) and generates a graphical diagram of the Trusted

TM

System, representing

modules for each module found in the application.

The user is prompted to search for the application folder, which will be similar to
..\Toolset\apl\<application>\. On selecting the folder, the appli.cnx file is opened and the diagram is
built.

1. Note that this is only a first approximation to the configuration. Modules may be missing or

incorrectly chosen, the modules will have no templates assigned and the diagram should be
checked before continuing. This facility generates the diagram but does not create a buffer.

Exit from the System Configuration Manager.

2.2.2.

Template Menu

Templates are segments of configuration. They can be viewed in text form, are referenced in the
System.INI and can be assigned to more than one module. Each template performs a specific
configuration of an Trusted

TM

module, such as trip thresholds and LED states.

The Template menu contains one option - Manage Templates. This opens the Template Editor
window. The Template Editor shows all templates stored in the ‘Templates’ folder in the Toolset
directory. The ‘Templates’ folder is created automatically when the System Configuration Manager is
first initiated.

The Template Editor is described in section 2.3 below.
