CHAPTER 7. READ/WRITE RADIO CONFIGURATION

7.1. READ DEVICE

The Read Device command enables the user to load a radio configuration file directly from the radio,

and is similar to the Open command, which enables the user to load a radio configuration file from the

disk.

Using the Read Device command allows you to load the radio configuration file, perform any required

changes, save the configuration and program the radio.

It is advisable to save the configuration file loaded from the radio on the computer disk (use the Save

command) as a back-up file.

7.1.1. READ DEVICE IN PROGRAMMER MODE

The user, working in Programmer mode (see Preferences Setting) is able to load parameters from the

radio. The current working mode is displayed on the Status line.

The Read Device command from the File menu enables the user to load parameters from the radio,

using a serial communication interface. To perform this operation, do one of the following:

• From the File menu, choose Read Device (ALT, F, R )

• On the toolbar, click the

Read button.

The window displayed in Figure 7-1 appears. The bar advancing from left to right indicates the

computer attempts to load parameters from the radio. In general, the bar indicates a communication

attempt and it stops once there is no response from the radio. You may also stop this process at any

moment by clicking the Abort button.

Figure 7-1. Communication Progress Window

If there is no response from the radio, or the communication parameters (baud rate or communication

ports) are not compatible, a Communication Failure message appears.
