3.2.1.1 File management - menu point [File]
The configuration of a fire detection control panel BC216-1 is filed in the PC as configuration file (the
file name has the extension “.par”). All parameters of the control panel relevant for the function of the
system are stored in this configuration file. The parameter setup software PARSOFT-1 is used to generate
the configuration files (e.g., loaded from a parameterized fire detection control panel BC216-1, copied
from an existing configuration file or newly created on the PC), edit the data on the PC and to copy the
result back to the fire detection control panel BC216-1 (or to save as a file).
Creating new configuration file - “New configuration...”.
Here you select the control panel type and the version number of the operating software of the control panel.
The standard configuration (see Chapter 2.3.12: “Automatic setup of the System configuration - [AUTOsetup]”) is created automatically, however without taking into account function modules.
You can change this standard configuration as required or overwrite with the parameter setup data of another
control panel (see Chapter 3.2.1.2: “Data transfer - menu point “Communication””).
Open configuration file - “Open...”
You select an existing configuration file (file extension “.par”) and open it for further processing. Before
opening a configuration file you display an info-field with the project name, the referee and notes on the
monitor by clicking the file in the “Open”-window (see Chapter 3.2.1.3: “Check settings and project information - menu point “Project””).
If you create a link between files with the extension “.par” and the programme PARSOFT.EXE on the
Windows-operating system of your PC, you can start the parameter setup software by doubleclicking
a configuration file.
Configuration files generated with earlier versions of the parameter setup software can be converted to the
latest level (see further below).
Close configuration file - “Close”
The open configuration file is closed, preceded by the query whether the file should be saved prior to closing.
Save configuration file - “Save”, “Save as...”
The open configuration file is saved on the PC. Before saving, the file is checked for formal correctness,
detected errors will be indicated. The file can also be saved if the configuration itself is incomplete or faulty.
