Features include a graphic user interface to enter and modify control system parameters, run files control commands called scripts, reading configuration files into the program and writing the configuration back out to a file, interactively set audio levels, and more. The config program can be used “offline” to create and edit a configuration without a control system. Config uses the serial port on the master CPU board to transfer information to and from the control system. Config runs on a standard Windows PC that supports a serial port. A USB to serial adapter can be used is no serial port is available on the PC.

If you want to a detailed understanding of the config program and data files, skip forward to section II. If you just want to jump right in and configure your control system then here we go…
