The KAT500 preserves configuration data, "memorized" tuner settings, and a fault log in non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
Opens an Edit Configuration dialog where you may view or change the tuner's configuration.
Save Configuration writes all KAT500 EEPROM data into a file, which includes configuration data, "memorized" tuner settings, and the fault log. Firmware (the microcontroller program instructions) is not saved in the configuration file.
Click to show a "Save As" dialog where you may provide the name of a new file that will receive configuration data. A suggested file name is generated from the KAT500 serial number and the date and time, but you may overtype this with any valid file name. Click "Save" to begin saving configuration and tuner memory data.
About 45 seconds are required to save the configuration at 38,400 bit/s.
The KAT500 Utility creates a folder intended for configuration files, located under the current user's Application Data folder. You can locate the current user's Application Data folder by entering "cd %APPDATA%" from a Windows command prompt.
You may use this folder, or use the Save As dialog to navigate to a different folder for saving configuration files.
Click to show a File Open dialog. Select an appropriate configuration file and click "Open". Your KAT500's configuration data and tuner memories will be restored from the selected file.
The fault log is not modified by configuration restore or the EEINIT serial command.
Do not modify the configuration file between Save and Restore, or Restore may fail.
Click to show the KAT500 fault table:
Click to show an Erase Memories dialog.
Select a single band (or All bands) and then click one or more of the Antenna Buttons.
Erase Memories was moved from the Edit Configuration property sheet in MKAT500 Utility revision 1.14.4.10.
Click to show a Reset to Factory Default dialog
Click "OK" on this dialog to restore the tuner to its factory default configuration. You may wish to save the existing configuration before resetting the tuner to factory default values. All tuner memories are erased. Tuner memories may be selectively erased by band and by antenna connector using Erase Antenna Tuner Memories.
