Configuration Utility

®
The MK2000 Configuration Utility is a Windows program that allows many of the MK2000
parameters to be configured on a PC and then saved to a registry/configuration file for
transfer to the MK2000's non-volatile Flash Memory. Parameters set in the registry/
configuration file are retained between power down and power up cycles. The registry files
can also be transferred from the MK2000 to a host PC (for cloning) and/or edited using the
Configuration Utility.
The Configuration Utility presents a "tree" view of parameters (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-
®
13) on the left-hand side, similar to Windows Explorer. Users navigate to and select the
desired parameter. The right-hand pane then displays editing controls suitable for editing
the parameter data. When the user has completed customizing the MK2000 settings, the
information is saved to a configuration file and can then be loaded on to the MK2000's non-
volatile storage location. In non-volatile storage, the configuration file is retained even when
the MK2000 is powered-down.
The parameters set by the Configuration Utility can be updated using control panels or
applications on the MK2000. However, the user must manually save the configuration
settings. To save the configuration, choose Save Configuration from the Start menu. Any
control panel changes that were not saved to non-volatile storage are lost if the MK2000 is
powered down.
