You can transfer configuration block data between the Color CVIM module
and CFG Host using block transfer reads and writes. These blocks contain
the operating instructions for the Color CVIM module (refer to Appendix D).
When transferring configuration blocks, note the following:

When the Color CVIM module is receiving configuration blocks from a CFG
Host, the Color CVIM module will leave the active run mode, set the module
busy bit, turn off local I/O, turn off the data valid bit, and ignore any input
triggers (setup menu option is also disabled). After receiving one or more
new configuration blocks (and the last block bit), the Color CVIM module
will validate the entire configuration since many of the operating parameters
are interrelated.

!

ATTENTION: You must monitor both the input and the output
status bits.

If the Color CVIM module detects an invalid configuration, the new
configuration will be ignored and the Color CVIM module will set the
Configuration Fault bit and operate using the old configuration.
