Editing Configuration Files
Once a Remote unit’s operation is fine-tuned, use the
Configuration
Scripts Menu on Page 119
to save a copy of the configuration onto a PC.
Once the file is saved on the PC, you can use it as a source to generate
modified copies adjusted to match other devices. Modify the configura-
tion files using a text editor or an automated process. (These applica-
tions are not provided by GE MDS).
We recommend that you review and update the following parameters for
each individual unit. Change other parameters as necessary. Save each
resulting file with a different name. We recommend using directories
and file names that reflect the location of the unit to facilitate later iden-
tification.
Editing Rules
• Only include parameters you want to change from the default
value.
• Change only the parameter values.
• Capitalization counts in some field parameters.
• Comment Fields:
a. Edit or delete anything on each line to the right of the
comment delineator, the semicolon (;).
b. Comments can be of any length, but must be on the same
line as the parameter, or on a new line that begins with a
semicolon character.
c. Comments after parameters in files exported from a trans-
ceiver do not need to be present in your customized files.
• Some fields are read-only. These are designated by “(RO)” in
the configuration sample file.
