Navigation

All navigation in the Radio Configuration Utility is done via the navigation bar on the left side of the main window. This navigation bar can be scrolled up and down to show all of the available icons.

To invoke one of the utility's panels, simply click on the appropriate navigation icon. The utility panel will appear in the pane to the right of the navigation panel.

You will be prompted with an alert if you try to leave a panel without saving your changes. Clicking "Yes" will save the changes, "No" will abandon the changes without saving them, and "Cancel" will return you to the panel you were just on.

Status Bar

A status bar is displayed at the bottom of the main window. The right-hand side of this bar is broken into two fields that keep you informed of:

How the PC's serial port is configured
The status of the serial connection

Drop-Down Menus

The Radio Configuration Utility has very few menu options.

File Menu

Generally speaking, the file menu is only useful if you manage multiple sites and wish to keep the radios at each site in a separate file. This can be handy if you are a consultant with multiple clients.

Open...

Open a previously saved workspace file. You will be prompted to enter a password if the file is encrypted.

Save the current workspace.

Save As...

Save the current workspace under a new filename.

Set Password...

Add a password, remove the password, or change the password on the current file. You will be prompted to enter a password the first time a file is saved.

Increasing the contrast in these colors can make it easier to see the charts outdoors.
