ProSoft Configuration Builder

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.

2.2.1 Set Up the Project

To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder. If you have used other Windows
configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar. ProSoft
Configuration Builder's window consists of a tree view on the left, an information
pane and a configuration pane on the right side of the window. When you first
start ProSoft Configuration Builder, the tree view consists of folders for Default
Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default Location
folder. The following illustration shows the ProSoft Configuration Builder window
with a new project.

Your first task is to add the MVI56-BSAPS module to the project.

Use the mouse to select "Default Module" in the tree view, and then click the
right mouse button to open a shortcut menu.
