to connect manually because you will automatically be connected to this
card already.
If you wish, you can edit the factory default Input/Output (“IO”) setup.
You also have the option to

•
You can save your current setup to a file and then apply it to another card.
•
You can load a previously saved setup into the card that is currently se-
lected.
B)
To copy an IO setup from a source card to a destination card
(optional):
a)
If you have not already saved the IO setup you wish to apply to the
destination card, use the Orban Control application to connect to the
source card. Then go to F
ILE
/S
AVE
S
ETUP
and save the IO setup of the source
card.
When saving, use any legal operating system filename other than
de-
fault.orbs
, which is a reserved name. Setup files have the form
*.orbs
.
A given card’s setup is stored in the Registry on the computer where that
card resides.
The current active setup file is always the last file that was recalled by the
F
ILE
/O
PEN
S
ETUP
operation.
If you have never recalled a setup file this way,
the current active setup is stored in a file named
system.orbs.
The current active setup file is a transient file. That is, the Orban Control
application updates it whenever you change the setup manually. The
Orban Control application also automatically updates the file when the
application starts and reads the setup information from the Registry.
You
cannot assume that a *.orbs setup file (other than
default.orbs
)
is static
or that it will retain its original information.
The factory default system setup is stored as
default.orbs
. This is a read-
only file. It is the only system setup file that is static and unchanging. For
further security, it is automatically regenerated each time the Orban Con-
trol Program or Service starts up.
b)
Connect the Orban Control application to the destination card.
c)
Go to F

/O

.
d)
Navigate to the folder containing the setup file you wish to retrieve.
This will usually be the file you saved in step (a).
The OPTIMOD-PC file system labels the card folders by their serial num-
bers. Look for the folder labeled with the source card’s serial number. In
that folder will be a preset folder containing the setup you wish to re-
store.
e)
Highlight the setup file and select O
PEN
.
The Orban Control application will automatically make a copy of just-
opened setup file in the destination card’s Presets folder. It will auto-
matically update this file if you make manual changes to the destination
card’s IO setup. The original setup file is not changed.
