to your computer so you can restore any custom settings
you may have made.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you save a copy of the
SettingParam.run file whenever you customize any parameter
settings. Then, if you ever replace the controller or perform a
"Restore Defaults" procedure, you can restore your customized
settings by downloading the previously saved
SettingParam.run file back into the controller.
Prior to changing settings, ensure the current configuration
package and "SettingParam.run" files are backed up. After making
changes, create new backup files.
To aid in file management, you may change the name of the
configuration package "app_cfg.tar" to differentiate it from other
"app_cfg.tar" files saved. The new name can use alpha and
numeric characters preceding the original "app_cfg.tar" name (the
end of the new file name must always be "app_cfg.tar"; for
example, an acceptable filename would be "seville4app_cfg.tar").
To aid in file management, you may change the name of the
"SettingParam.run" file to differentiate it from other

name (the end of the new file name must always be
"SettingParam.run"; for example, an acceptable filename would be
"seville4SettingParam.run").

release of firmware is available for you application. The name of

device into the NCU USB port and then download the file into the
NCU Controller. If upgrading the NCU with a USB drive other than

adhered to:
• USB 2.0 or below, 32G or less, formatted fat32 file system.
