Configuring using the MLC 52 Configuration Wizard

The MLC 52 Configuration Wizard is a program that helps you perform basic configuration of the MLC 52. You can use the wizard to create a new configuration or to open and upload an existing one that you can then edit using the Windows-based configuration software. You can configure an MLC that is connected to your PC, or you can configure an MLC 52 (or a DVCM 50) that is not connected (by using emulation mode). For information on performing a complete configuration of your MLC, see “Configuring using the Windows-based configuration program” on page 5-19.

If you have an RS model of the MLC 52 or the MLC 52 VC, the wizard allows you to configure the MLC with a serial driver only. If you want to create a configuration with additional IR drivers, you must access the Windows-based configuration software directly.

If your MLC is an IR model, the wizard lets you load only an IR driver.
