Electronics International MVP-50P - Manual (Page 45)

The “Retrieve ALL Backup Config Files” command reads all the stored configuration data on the USB Data
Stick. If the configuration data was NOT stored to the USB Data Stick by same MVP that is retrieving it, the
command will fail and an appropriate message will be displayed. Each MVP system has the following unique
calibration data that should not be shared with other MVP systems:
A. Temp Comp Diode offset (this diode is located on the middle connector of the EDC).
B. PT-30ABS, Manifold Pressure offset.
C. PT-30Alt, Pressure Altitude calibration data.
D. Horsepower calibration data.
E. Flaps and Trim calibration data.
F. Fuel Tank calibration data
G. Weight and Balance setup data.
The “Retrieve BASIC Config Files FROM USB” command retrieves the following data from a USB Data
Stick that may have be generated by another MVP instrument:
A. EDC Input to Function Mapping data.
B. Function to Main Screen Mapping data.
C. Function to System Screen Mapping data.
D. All Redlines, Limits and Color Setup data for all functions.
As a general rule it is not a good ideal to retrieve configuration data that was generated by another MVP
system, unless the two systems are wired the same, the software versions match and you wish to setup the two
systems identically.
Once you have the MVP configured for your aircraft and engine you should back up the configuration files to
the USB Data Stick. If anything ever happens to the MVP or the configuration is inadvertently changed, you
will be able to restore the MVP back to a known configuration by simply retrieving the backed up
configuration file from the USB Data Stick.
For those pilots performing aerobatics or engineering testing with non TSO’s units, several MVP
configurations can be kept on separate USB Data Sticks. The MVP operation can be changed at any time by
retrieving the appropriate configuration files.
Each configuration file has a “.cfg” extension and is stored in the “config” directory on the USB Data Stick.
Be careful! Every time you back up a configuration file you will write over the one already stored on the
USB Data Stick.
6.5 “Change Password” Screen:
System configuration data can only be changed by entering the correct password. Password protection is provided
to limit the access to the configuration data, protecting against inadvertent changes of data that can cause misleading
or erroneous indication of display values.
There are two levels of passwords. The non-FAA certified password for both levels (set at the factory) is “0100.”
The passwords for a FAA certified MVP is not available to the pilot.
