LOADING AND SAVING THE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
It is recommended that you save separate channel configs for common tasks and vehicles.
However, you do not need to save your channel configuration every time you make a change. VCM Scanner will remember all the changes you make and reload them next time you open VCM Scanner.
SAVING THE CURRENT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
To save the current channel configuration:
| 1. | Click the  icon at the top of the Channels list. |
| 2. | Enter a file name and click Save. |
Channel configurations are saved as xml and include the following information:
| ￭ | Parameter ID |
| ￭ | Parameter Source |
| ￭ | Polling Interval |
| ￭ | Any Transform (if applied) |
LOADING A SAVED CONFIGURATION
To load a channel configuration that you have saved to a file:
| 1. | Click the  icon at the top of the Channels list. |
| 2. | Select Open Channel Config. |
| 3. | Browse for and select a saved channel config file. |
| 4. | Click Open. |
LOADING THE DEFAULT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION
You can load two different default channel configurations for the current vehicle.
| 1. | Either connect to the vehicle for which you wish to load defaults or select its vehicle profile. |
| 2. | Click the  icon at the top of the Channels list. |
| 3. | Select one of the two options described below. |
LOAD SAE DEFAULTS
This will load a default set of supported SAE parameters for the current vehicle. These will only provide a basic set of parameters.
LOAD VEHICLE DEFAULTS
This will load a default set of supported manufacturer specific and SAE parameters for the current vehicle. This will provide the best starting point for most vehicles.
