Computer Interface Using Configuration File
Another method used to configure the AF900PC is to edit and download a
configuration file to the AF900PC. The configuration file is a template file that
contains all configurable parameters and an explanation for all parameter
configuration settings. The user must enter desired configuration values for all
appropriate configuration parameters before downloading the file to the AF900PC.
The configuration file can be edited with any text editor or word processor that can
save files in text format, such as Wordpad available on Windows PCs.
The download file contains configuration comments and parameter configurations.
The comments for the configuration parameters explain the function for each
parameter and the programmable values associated for each parameter. The
comments are any text or text characters that follow a semicolon.

comments, such as ‘
the user to overwrite with application-specific descriptors, such as ‘Engine Exhaust
Temperature’. Once the file has been edited, it should be saved under a different
name so that the original factory .spc file remains intact.
The configuration file’s parameter configurations program the corresponding
AF900PC parameters when the file is downloaded to the AF900PC.
