3.1.1 Functions and use
In the P2A software, two different file types are used: The instrument and the
parameter file.
Instrument file
The parameters of a particular transmitter are stored in its so-called
instrument file. Using this file, the parameters can be edited and the
instrument can be tested and adjusted.
Instrument files also contain the respective histories in addition to the
parameter data, i.e. "log books" are kept for the previous parameterizations,
adjustments and messages (see chapter 3.3.5).
Instrument files are ".cfm" format files.
