Off-line operations include editing parameters in a transmitter configuration stored in an MXC archive for downloading at a later time to a transmitter. The first part of this section describes off-line configuration editing. The second part explains downloading a configuration to a transmitter.

An archive is a transmitter configuration stored in the MXC. It resides in a specific location in the MXC's On-Line Memory. This Memory can store up to 100 configurations, numbered 0-99. To save time and reduce errors, simply recall and edit an archived configuration rather than creating a completely new configuration.

Configurations created using the MXTC Configuration Software (PN 15939-41Vn.nn*) running on a personal computer can be downloaded to and archived in the MXC.

* Vn.nn is the software version number.

1.At the Main Menu, press ARCH FUNC to go to the Enter Archive # screen (Off-Line Archive menu).

2.To call an archived configuration, type the archive number or the tagname of a transmitter and press ENTER.

To create a new configuration to be archived, type an unused archive number (0-99) and press ENTER.

3.Select one of the following:

ŸIf there is no data stored in this archive, a Warning screen appears. Press ABORT to exit the archive function or press CONT to continue. Go to step 4.

ŸIf the configuration at this archive number is no longer needed, press CLR ARCH to erase it. Press END to exit this screen.

ŸTo review or edit the configuration, press EDIT ARCH. Press CONT and select a function block to view or edit,

then return to this section and go to "After configuration is complete." step 1.
