2.2 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder Software
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a quick and easy way to manage
module configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is not
only a powerful solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to import
information from previously installed (known working) configurations to new
projects.
Note: During startup and initialization, the MVI56E-MCMR module receives its protocol and
backplane configuration information from the installed Personality Module (Compact Flash). Use
ProSoft Configuration Builder to configure module settings and to download changes to the
Personality Module.
2.2.1 Upgrading from MVI56-MCMR in ProSoft Configuration Builder
MVI56E-MCMR modules are fully backward-compatible with MVI56-MCMR
modules. However, you will need to convert your MVI56-MCMR configuration in
ProSoft Configuration Builder to a form that your new MVI56E-MCMR module will
accept when you download it.
ProSoft Configuration Builder version 2.2.2 or later has an upgrade option that
easily performs this conversion, while preserving all your configuration settings
and any name you may have given your module.
Important: For this procedure, you need to have ProSoft Configuration Builder version 2.2.2 or
later installed on your PC. You can download the latest version from www.prosoft-technology.com.
