MCNConfig Program: Importing a System from MCNRCD for
DOS
The MCNConfig program can import the following configuration files from the older DOS version
MCNRCD program:
*.GCF Group Configuration Files (Receiver Names & Notes)
*.MCF Module Configuration Files (Module Names & Status Table pointers)
MCNRCD.CFG Custom Status Tables
This saves the majority of the work required to re-build a system for the MCN Server.
Since there is a significant difference in screen files between the two programs, the Import command
will not import the *.MSF screen files. It's easy to create the Display Window Screens. We didn't want
to take all the fun out of the import process! Some of the new configuration features in the Windows
program that you'll want to look at are:
Selectable numbers of Rows & Columns
Variable length Receiver Names & Descriptions
Cutting & Pasting from Excel
(especially good for receiver names and phone line / T1 Line information)
User adjustable column widths
Multi-tabbed display screens for faster switching between systems
Selectable colors for labels
Better support of alarms & general purpose I/Os
Support of more than 8 receivers in AIBs for Astrotac comparators
Channel grouping
Email logging
Importing the System
Start the Config program or close the current system.
From the File Menu, select Import .
