Post by: getnbizzy on June 15, 2016, 11:12:42 pm
what are the following used for in the ipac configuration utility? I can't find documentation on these options.


Import...What is the xml file for?
Export...What is the xml file for?
Force board reconfigure-Is this always required?

Export and import would seem like a good option to backup your config or copy it to another ipac.

The XML export is really for convenience in checking the configuration in text form.

Saving configurations is done by saving as an IPC file, and these files can be loaded in "on the fly" if needed.

"Force Board Reconfigure" is not normally needed as each change in the config is passed interactively to the board and the boards configuration is read and displayed so the GUI and board are always in sync.
