4.4.5. Export Saved State

In addition to saving, retrieving, and deleting the configuration state, the GUI also gives the end user the ability to

export the configuration state to a file. The file can then be imported to installations of the GUI on different

machines to allow multiple users to easily implement the same configuration state. To export a saved configuration

state to a file, select File

State ManagementExport Saved State and the Select Configuration window will pop

as shown in Figure 34. Select the configuration state to export and click OK to save the configuration file with a .ini

extension. This configuration file can now be exported to different machines. The name of the saved state is

retained in the file when exported.

4.4.6. Import Saved State

A saved configuration state can be imported from a .ini file exported by another instance of the GUI. To import a

saved state, select File

State Management Import State File, then browse for and select the desired file. Once

the file has been imported, the saved state will appear in the Default Mode list in the Initialization window. If a state

already exists with the same name as the state in the imported file, the GUI will give you the option of replacing the

original state, choosing a new name for the imported state, or canceling the import from file. The name appearing

in the initialization window will not necessarily be the same as the *.ini file name exported. It will reflect the name of

the original state that was exported.

4.5. Disconnecting the EVB

The GUI provides three methods for disconnecting the device: Closing the GUI, choosing disconnect from the file

menu, or physically disconnecting the device from the PC.

When closing the UI or selecting disconnect from the file menu, the GUI will prompt if the device should be

powered down or not. This prompt allows for further investigation of the device after the GUI has been

disconnected from the EVB. After the board has been disconnected through the File menu, the GUI will save the

current state of the device to disk. This state will be used to power up the device in the same state next time the

board is connected. The GUI will only save the current state if the board is disconnected through the File menu or

the GUI application is closed. If the board is removed from the PC without being disconnected through the File

menu and before the GUI is closed, then all state data will be lost.
