2.11 Understanding how data is stored in ARC246
In ARC246 data is stored in a system file or in a profile file.
System File:
Stores a single system with all related parameters:
- system settings, including systemname, systemtype, QuickKey and
website.
- group settings
- channel data (either frequencies or trunk id’s and related channel
parameters)
Profiles:
A profile stores a list of system filenames.
When you open a profile, all system files that are stored in that profile are
opened.
So a profile does not contain system data, data is only stored in system files.
You can view profiles by using the Profile Creator ( FILE _ Profile Creator )
Or you can open them as text file in Notepad.
Creating a new profile:
There are several ways to create a new profile:
1. Manually open all the systemfiles that you want to store in a profile.
Every systemfile is added to the systembrowser. Use File Save Profile or
File Save Profile As to store and create a profile.
2. Profile creator (see next item): With this utility you can browse your
harddisk for systemfiles (.mem extension). The system files can be
dragged and dropped into the profile.
3. read data from the scanner into the software and select FILE _ SAVE
PROFILE AS. Saving a profile will automatically save your systems.
