Module Configurations

A Module Configuration is a saved set of a module's control settings. Save a configuration to reuse settings you have tuned, recall it on another module of the same type, and export it to share it with other Sites.

Configurations belong to a Toolkit module type. A configuration saved from a Parametric EQ, for example, is offered only on Parametric EQ modules.

Find the Module Configuration Controls

  1. In the Signal Flow, select a single module.
  2. Open the Modifier Panel. The configuration controls are in the module's header row, next to the module name.

The header row has two parts:

  • The configuration list — Shows the configuration last recalled on this module, or — if none has been recalled. Click it to choose a configuration to recall.
  • The gear button (Module Configuration Options) — Opens a menu to save, rename, delete, import, and export configurations.

The configuration list has two groups:

  • User — Configurations you have saved or imported.
  • Factory — Configurations supplied with Cognio DesignOps, shown in italics. You can recall and export a factory configuration, but you cannot save over, rename, or delete it.

Recall a Configuration

  1. Click the configuration list.
  2. Choose a configuration.

The module's controls are set to the saved values. If some controls cannot be set, a message tells you how many were skipped.

Save a Configuration

To save the module's current settings as a new configuration:

  1. Click the gear button and choose Save As….
  2. Type a name for the configuration and click Save. Each name must be unique.

To update a user configuration you have recalled, click the gear button and choose Save. The configuration is replaced with the module's current settings.

Rename a Configuration

  1. Recall the user configuration you want to rename.
  2. Click the gear button and choose Rename….
  3. Type the new name and click Save.

Delete a Configuration

  1. Recall the user configuration you want to delete.
  2. Click the gear button and choose Delete….
  3. The message Delete '<name>'? This cannot be undone. appears, with the configuration's name in place of <name>. Click Delete.

Export and Import Configurations

Export a configuration to save it as a Module Configuration file (.cogmod), so you can use it in another Site or share it. See File Extensions.

To export a configuration:

  1. Recall the configuration you want to export.
  2. Click the gear button and choose Export….
  3. Choose where to save the file.

To import a configuration:

  1. Select a module of the same type as the configuration.
  2. Click the gear button and choose Import….
  3. Choose the .cogmod file.

A configuration can be imported only on the type of module it was saved from. If the file is for a different module, a message tells you which module it is for.

Configuration Already Exists

If you import a configuration with the same name as one you already have, the Configuration Already Exists dialog appears: A configuration named '<name>' already exists. Overwrite or import as new copy? Choose one of the following:

  • Cancel — Close the dialog without importing.
  • Import as New Copy — Import the configuration as <name> (copy), keeping the existing one.
  • Overwrite — Replace the existing configuration with the imported one.

Configurations from Earlier Versions

Configurations saved in Cognio DesignOps 1.0 or 1.0.1 are upgraded when you open a design from those versions. Some may be copied to several modules. See Module Configurations in the 1.0.1 to 1.1 upgrade notes.
