The KPA 900 verifies that the contents of the CM 2000 are validated for legitimate and
reasonable data and if valid data is displayed on the unit parameters form. If required, the
KPA 900 selects the appropriate unit type, based on the read data. The message,
"Module has been read and validated, parameters for the ART 2000 are displayed in the
KPA 900" is placed in the activity log if the read operation is successful. A failure to
successfully read the module is indicated by a statement similar to "CM 2000 does not
contain any data. Verify that the module is installed."
If the KPA 900 fails to successfully read the module, try the read operation again. Refer
to Section 1.4.2 for instructions. The failure may also be caused by a defective CM 2000,
or the data in the module may be corrupted. Refer to Section 3.6.6 for instructions on
finding corrupted data.
3.6 MISCELLANEOUS OPERATIONS
The following operations are not required for basic programming of the CM 2000, but
extend the function of the tool to make it easier to operate or to provide enhanced
capability. These tools are used at the discretion of the operator, or as necessary.
3.6.1 FILE
→ LOAD CONFIGURATION FILE MENU OPTION
A previously saved configuration can be recreated by loading a configuration file. The
configuration can be duplicated or modified. The Load File form, similar to that shown in
Figure 3-7, is displayed. Refer to Section 3.6.2 for details about using this form.
3.6.2 FILE
→ SAVE CONFIGURATION DATA AS MENU OPTION
When all parameters in configuration are determined, the configuration is saved to a file,
or a programmed CM 2000 from an installation is read and the data is stored in a file.
These stored files provide a record for the aircraft documentation, and can also be loaded
back into the KPA 900 and programmed into additional CM 2000s.
Figure 3-7 shows the form displayed when the File
→ Load or File → Save Configuration
Data As menu options are selected. The title on the form differs with each option selected.
This form differs slightly from the standard Windows file form. This allows compatibility
with 16- or 32-bit file structures. The operation of this form is explained in the following
sections.
