Creating a New Configuration File

To create a different preset (or presets), you must first create a new configuration file.

•Click File>New (or enter CTL + N). This clears all the data entry fields and enters ‘New’ as the Current Configuration file name.

•Enter data for the first preset (Preset 1) in all data entry boxes in the Current Config file, Preset Configuration and DRM Configuration areas

of the window. Note that all these fields are mandatory. The File Name in the BWF/MPEG File Info area is also mandatory, but Company Name, Reporter Name and Description are optional and may be left empty if wished. Note that only the characters A-Z and 0-9 are allowed in the File Name field.

•Click the SAVE button (or click File>Save, or enter CTL + S). The Save File As dialogue box opens. Enter a name for the configuration file in the File name box and click Save. The dialogue box dismisses. In the FlashMic Manager window, note the Current Configuration file name is now the name just entered.

•If you want to create further presets within this configuration file, select

a new number in the Select Preset drop-down box (it is normal, though not essential, to work in numerical order!), which clears all the data entry boxes. Enter the data for the new presets in turn, as before. Note that two options in the DRM Configuration area of the window - Battery and Enable Configuration changes in DRM – retain the selection that was made when creating the initial preset. This is because these two parameters are ‘global’, and apply to all the presets in the configuration file.

•On SAVEing, the configuration file already created will be updated with the additional presets. It is then possible to upload this configuration file. See Uploading a Configuration File to the FlashMic.

Modifying an Existing Configuration File

You may wish to change an existing configuration file in some way, or possibly use an existing file as a starting point for a different one. Any parameters in one or more presets may be changed.

•Click File>Open (or enter CTL + O). The Select file to Open/Load dialogue box opens.

•The available configuration files (*.cfg) will be listed. Select the file to be used, and click Open. This dismisses the dialogue box, and FlashMic Manager will now be loaded with the file. The filename appears as the Current Configuration file in the window’s top area.

•The data for Preset 1 is displayed. Either modify the parameters for this preset, or select a different preset for modification.

•After all necessary changes have been made to the chosen preset, click SAVE if you don’t want to keep the original set of preset parameters (i.e. in the configuration file you opened). The set of presets will be saved as a configuration file with the same name. If you want to create a new configuration file from the altered presets, click File>Save As, and enter a new name in the Save File As dialogue box which opens. Click Save.

•If you attempt to open a different preset before saving the changes to the current one a warning will open, prompting you to save the changes first.
