Raw Setups

Overview

Setups may be saved to ‘raw’ setup files for programming with external tools. Raw setups can’t be opened or programmed from Dash Design.

Tip

If you want to make a non-editable setup that can be programmed with Dash Design, see Locked Setups .

Exporting Raw Setups

To export a raw setup, use either the File | Export Raw | Export Raw Setup (Packaged)... or File | Export Raw | Export Raw Setup (Unpackaged)... command.

Use File | Export Raw | Export Raw Setup (Packaged)... for tools that expect packaged raw setups (e.g. commissioning / programming tools). Packaged setup files include some additional information about the setup (e.g. Display Module type) that the tool can use for file validation.

Packaged raw setups have the file extension .rawsetup.

Use File | Export Raw | Export Raw Setup (Unpackaged)... for tools that do not expect any setup packaging (e.g. an Display Module external simulator).
