2. Manual configuration using a text file
The parameters can also be set by using a text file. This makes it possible to set the
parameters using virtually any computer system. The text file must be named
"MM02Config.txt" and must be located in the card's root folder.
You may use any ASCII editor, for example Notepad, to modify the parameters. The
"MM02Config.txt" must be in plain ASCII, it must not be in Unicode. If you don't know what a
root folder is, or you don't know what ASCII is or don't know how to manually edit ASCII files
please use mSetup.exe as outlined above.
A "MM02Config.txt" first needs to be created by the camera. The camera's parameters are
self explanatory, but be aware that the camera will not perform as expected or may even
freeze if invalid values are set. It is much safer and easier to use the setup program which will
always configure the camera correctly.
The "MM02Config.txt" file can be automatically created as follows:
1. Disconnect the camera from the PC and turn it off.
2. Make sure a card is inserted. The card must be correctly formatted, and not full.
3. Press and Hold Down the Mode button.
4. Press and Hold Down the Power button. The LEDs will start to blink.
5. After a few seconds there will be LED activity.
6. Wait another few seconds until all the LEDs (top and rear) turn off.
7. Release the Mode and Power buttons.
There should now be a "MM02Config.txt" file containing the camera's current settings in the
card's root folder. This file can be edited as explained above.
Don't forget to save the file before "safely removing" the camera. The camera can now be
disconnected from the computer.
Use the exact same sequence as outlined in steps 1 through 7 above to load the new settings
back into the camera. Once the "MM02Config.txt" has been correctly loaded by the firmware it
will be automatically deleted from the card's root folder.
►On rare occasions you may wish to keep the original configuration file in order to set the
camera's parameters to specific values. In this case you should use the operating system to
set the file's attribute to "Read-Only". You may then use different cards containing different
parameter settings.
Using Software to configure the camera
The Windows program mSetup.exe will automatically configure the camera with the parameters
you require (see above). It will also accurately set the camera's date and time or allow you to
format the SD card and update the camera's firmware. Detailed instructions can be found in the
program by clicking the "Help" button.
DO NOT RELEASE the button until step 7.
