7. Click the Config package checkbox if it does not already contain a checkmark.
8. Click Config: Config if the configuration file contains calibration files.
NOTICE – Tainted results. Do not select the calibration configuration in the Package field
if the configuration package came from another RMC. Calibration files from a different
device corrupt the last calibration records and skew the results. Only restore calibration files
to the unit that created them.
9. Click Send.
10. View the status messages in the Loader Status Logs. When the configuration file upload is
successful, messages display to indicate the package was sent, the system restarted, and the
new configuration is active. The "Device info updated" message displays when the configuration
update successfully completes.
11. Verify that the Device field displays the new configuration package information.
8.3

Use the configuration from another RMC

This procedure uses the device loader to copy a configuration saved from one controller to another
unit. Use this procedure when the configuration in several controllers is similar.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use calibration data in a configuration package that was generated
from another controller. Calibration data is specific to each device and links to a device's electronic
board serial number.
To send the device configuration:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Loss of data. When the loader replaces the controller's existing package with
the configuration package from another unit, the controller automatically uses the new startup
configuration to restart (cold restart). It removes the previous startup configuration.
Perform the procedures in section 8.1, Preserve data and configuration, to collect the measurement
data before sending a new configuration to the controller. This avoids loss of the data and the need
for a complete system reconfiguration.
