The Kramer K-Config Menus

10.1.2Saving a Project

When saving, writing or opening a new project, follow these important rules:

•In order to make uploading the project as stable as possible, projects are saved automatically before writing a configuration to a device. This behavior may overwrite the existing project.

If you want to keep the previous configuration as well, be sure to rename the project before writing it to the device

•Always change a project name via “Save as” in the software. If the project name is changed outside the K-Config software (for example, via the Rename function in a Windows folder view), it will not open correctly in K-Config

•When quitting K-Config, the open project will not be saved automatically. If needed, save the open project before quitting K-Config

•When opening a new project, you will be asked to name it by saving it. The default project name that appears in the “Save as” window will be the name of the currently open Project. It is recommended to change the name in the filename, otherwise the new project will overwrite the current project

10.1.3Import/Export Devices

K-Config lets you import or export device templates via the import/Export Device feature in the File menu.

This feature allows you to import a newly released control device to the Control Room list (Master/Auxiliary) without having to upgrade the K-Config. You can also share virtual device layouts that were created in K-Config by exporting and importing them to a different room installation.

To Import a device:

1.Select Import Devices… in the File menu, and select the device (or devices) you want to import1.

The following window appears:
