Open a configuration
1. Choose Open Configuration from the File menu.
The Open Configuration dialog box lists the available configuration files (with
the extension .CON). The provided example configuration files are in the Param
directory within the OMNIC directory.
2. Type the name of the file you want to open, or locate a file and select it by
clicking its filename.
3. Choose OK.
If the configuration file has a password, a prompt asks for the password. Type
the password in the text box and choose OK. (You are allowed three attempts.)
The software is set up as specified by the configuration you opened.
Saving a
configuration
Use Save Configuration As in the File menu to save the current software
configuration in a configuration file on a disk. The configuration determines the
settings of the options in the Options dialog box and which features appear in the
OMNIC menus and the toolbar. See “Customizing the OMNIC menus” and
“Customizing a toolbar” in the “Edit” chapter for details on creating a
configuration that sets up the software according to your preferences.
If you do not have the DS option, you can assign a password to your configuration
file within OMNIC to prevent unauthorized users from changing and then saving
your configuration with the changes. If you have the DS option, Windows password
features are used instead.
Note
Whenever you are asked to enter an OMNIC password, you are allowed three
attempts to enter the correct password before the software ends the procedure. ▲
You can open the saved configuration later by using Open Configuration in the
File menu. This makes it easy to set up the software without having to set
individual parameters. See “Opening a configuration” for details.
Depending on whether the log-in feature is on or off, the Set As Default
Configuration option in the Save Configuration dialog box lets you specify that
the configuration be associated with your user name or be used as the default
configuration. (This does not apply to systems with the DS option. Those systems
use Windows features to assign configurations.)
If you have the DS option, you can also specify the location of the default
configurations by using the Browse button in the Security options. (See
“Specifying the default configuration location” in the “Edit” chapter for details.)
To prevent unauthorized users from saving a changed configuration, we
recommend hiding the Save Configuration As command (using Edit Menu in the
Edit menu) or specifying a configuration directory location with only read
permission for users other than the administrator.
