USB Memory Stick Folders & Files
If a USB flash drive is used to transfer files between instruments and/or the software, the files
must be stored in specific
DEVICE
,
CONFIG
and
PROFILE
folders. When saving files from
the software to the USB stick, always ensure they are saved to the correct folder. Local file
storage on your PC can be in any location. The USB option also limits the file name to 8
characters plus the 3 digit .bct or .pfl extension. Longer file names will be truncated.
DEVICE
– This folder must be located in the
Root of the USB memory stick
CONFIG
– Configuration files (*.bct)
PROFILE
– Profile program files (*.pfl)

.
CAUTION:
When saving a file, the data will be overwritten If the file name
already exists.
Instrument Configuration

the basic instrument type and the options fitted to it
must be defined in the Device Selection screen. You
can select these from the drop down lists or by typing
the full model number in the Order number field.

Note: It is important that the options
selected match those fitted to your unit
.
Alternatively the complete instrument type and existing configuration can be uploaded to the
PC from your instrument, via the configuration socket or serial communications. A
previously saved configuration file can be opened from the file open menu or button.
Main Parameter Adjustment
The main parameter screen contains the configuration settings broken down into functional
groups similar to the instruments
’ menus. The parameters can be changed in the yellow
Value column. Type in new values or select from the list offered. Invalid values will be
highlighted in red (possible values are show to the left). Parameters are
“greyed out” if they
are inaccessible due the hardware not being fitted or if they are disabled by other settings.
Once the required changes are made, the configuration can then be download to the
instrument or saved to hard disk or a USB stick, with a .bct file extension. The file contains
the device information and configuration parameter settings, including any supervisor and
enhanced operation mode screens or changes to the LED functions. Transfer of comms
settings and clock date/time are via optional tick boxes on the download settings screen.
Profiles, splash screens language files and data recordings are not saved in the .bct file.
They are uploaded/saved separately.
