Behavior When Loading

When device information is included in the file

If the configuration file contains a serial number that matches a connected MicroPeckerX, the corresponding settings are applied automatically.

Serial number match

Unchecked items in the Load Config dialog are not imported; the current application settings remain unchanged.

When device information is not included in the file

If the serial number of the connected MicroPeckerX is not present in the configuration file, the application prompts whether to open the Ch Config Import dialog.

Prompt for Ch Config Import

Select Yes to open the Ch Config Import dialog and choose which saved settings to apply.
