Using Flash Configuration Files
The ‘Flash Window’ offers you a shortcut. You can save the names of the firmware files you use in
a file. Then you can load the names back into the flash window rather than entering the file
names by hand. This can save time if you have multiple control cards to configure.
The file extension for the name list is .flashcfg and the files are called flash configuration files.
To Save a Flash Configuration File
1 Populate the ‘Flash Memory’ window with the firmware files you want to use.
2 From the ‘File’ menu, choose ‘Save As Flash Configuration File’ to save the firmware file
name(s) locally on your PC. A dialog appears in which you can browse to locate and name
the .flashcfg file.
To Read a Flash Configuration File
From the ‘File’ menu, choose ‘Read From Flash Configuration File’ to read the firmware file
name(s) from the file on your PC. A dialog appears in which you can browse to locate the
.flashcfg file.
Reading the file restores the saved pathnames to the ‘Flash Memory’ page.
