VDR24 Radar Detection System, Rev 1.0

9.3. Backing Up and Restoring Radar Sensor Configuration Settings

To back up or restore the sensor settings that you have changed, click the Backup/Restore

control on the Tools screen.

9.3.1. Creating a Backup
To create a backup, click on the

magnifying glass icon in the Back-up

File section. Choose a

destination (i.e. folder) on your

connected computer and type in a

recognizable filename – a name that

can be easily identified with a

particular radar at a particular site.

Then click the Back-up Sensor Setup

button
9.3.2. Restoring Settings
The restore function allows you to

restore a set of sensor settings you

have backed up. To restore, click on

the magnifying glass icon in the

Restore File section. Select the

backup file you wish to restore and

click OK, then click the Restore Sensor Setup button. Note that executing a

Restore process will overwrite and cause you to lose the settings previously on the sensor,

unless they are backed up.
9.3.3. Restore Factory Settings
To restore the sensor to factory defaults, click the Restore Factory Setup button on the bottom

of the screen. It is recommended that this function be invoked only under the direction and

guidance of Island radar engineering and support personnel.

Don’t Hesitate to Ask for Help

Backing up and restoring settings as well as installing new firmware upgrades is an

advanced function. Island Radar Company engineering and support personnel are available

to help guide you through these processes.

Protecting Configuration File Integrity

The backup will appear as an .mxc file. While this file can be opened as a text file by using

Notepad, do not edit the file, as it will change the settings you backed up.

Also, be sure to name backup files using a name that can be correlated to a specific radar at

a particular site, for instance, ‘NWQuadrantMapleStreet.mxc’.
