2.1 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a convenient way to manage
module configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is not

information from previously installed (known working) configurations to new
projects.

information pane and a configuration pane on the right side of the window. When
you first start PCB, the tree view consists of folders for Default Project and
Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default Location folder. The
following illustration shows the PCB window with a new project.
