Configuring The Installation - Martin P3-100 System Controller Installation And Safety Manual User Manual

2. Configuring the installation

Once you have opened or created a configuration file as described in the previous section, various routes are
available to configure an installation consisting of a P3-100 and an array of video panels. These routes are
explained in this section.
Whether you are working on a PC or a P3-100, the configuration file is saved continuously while you work. At
any time, you can save this file to a USB memory device and transfer it between any PC running the Offline
Editor or P3-100.
