CONFIGURING THE AVC USING THE CONFIGSET SOFTWARE
A companion application software called ConfigSet was shipped with the order of AVC cards (ConfigSet
Version 1.2 or later is required to work with the AVC cards). This software allows the user to move
configurations from card to card using a standard PC computer. It also allows the user to maintain more
configurations than the two presets available on the card as well as make backup copies of the
configurations. ConfigSet does not allow the user to directly set up the card's control, it merely acts as a
tool to copy card configurations from one card to another.
Presets loaded from the PC will become the active card configuration and are not automatically stored in
the card's internal preset storage system. To store the active card configuration into a user-recallable
preset, the Store card preset x menu item in the Utilities sub-menu must be used.
Please review the software system requirements located on the CD-ROM case. To install the software
run the setup program provided on the CD-ROM. Instructions for running the software are included in the
on-line help system and can be accessed by pressing the "F1" key on the keyboard once the software is
installed. A viewable help file is also included on the CD-ROM.
In order for the ConfigSet software to communicate with the 7735AVC-LB card the user will need to install
the upgrade cable provided (located in the vinyl pouch in the front of this manual) onto header J24 at the
card edge. Connect the other end to an available serial port on the application PC.
Use the following procedure to recall a preset configuration from a card and save it to a hard drive:
1. Connect the upgrade cable (delivered with the manual) between a computer and a powered up AVC
card.
2. Start the ConfigSet software and select the COM port that has the upgrade cable attached.
3. Configure the 7735AVC-LB or recall the desired preset to download to the computer.
4. Get the card set-up configuration from the card with the ConfigSet software. See the online help in the
software for the correct procedure for doing this.
5. After a successful upload, save the configuration, with a unique name, to a disk for future use.
Use the following procedure to send a preset configuration to a card from a hard drive:
1. Connect the upgrade cable (delivered with the manual) between a computer and a powered up
7735AVC-LB card.
2. Start the ConfigSet software and select the COM port that has the upgrade cable attached.
3. Load a saved configuration preset from the hard drive to download into the 7735AVC-LB card.
4. Send the card set-up configuration to the card with the ConfigSet software. Consult the online help tool
in the software for the correct procedure for doing this.
5. After a successful download, if desired, store the configuration to a preset for easy recovery in case
someone accidentally modifies the active setup.
