The configuration displayed when you open the MLC 52 configuration software may have been:

•Created with the Configuration Wizard

•Created via the MLC 52 Windows-based configuration software

•An existing configuration file loaded from your computer

Before adding drivers or programming buttons to create a new configuration, you may want to save your MLC 52’s current configuration in case you want to restore those settings in the future.
