Working With Configuration Files
Configuration files are a powerful tool when setting up facility control panels.
The control panel configuration file can be:
• Unique to each control panel.
• Shared if you want multiple control panels to have identical settings.
• Shared if you want multiple control panels to have common settings, which can then later be
individualized.
The configuration file used by a particular panel is defined by its assigned ID number. If desired,
the ID number can be changed “on the fly,” enabling a control panel’s configuration settings to
vary.
A control panel configuration file is created when a control panel is added to the NV9000-SE sys-
tem. By default, NV9000-SE creates a default pathname for the configuration file by concatenating
\nvision\envy\bin\usersys\live\ and the configuration file name. The pathname is expressed
relative to the hard disk of any NV9000 server.
Normally, the file name extensions reflect the control panel type. For instance, an NV9601 config-
uration file has a
601 extension. Control panel configuration files can be used by one or multiple
control panels of the same type.
Different control panel pages and tables manage specific information. The information that dis-
plays differs from control panel to control panel.
Opening a Configuration
Configurations can be opened at any time. Configurations can be imported from a directory loca-
tion or from a zip (compressed) file, such an archived file.
How to Open a Configuration from a Directory Location
1 Launch NV9000-SE. (See Launching and Exiting the Application on page 12.)
2 From the menu bar, select ‘File’ and then ‘Open’. The ‘Select a Config to Open’ dialog appears:
