Load a Configuration File from an SD Card Using the Physical Controls

About this task

The following procedure loads a configuration file (ending in .miniconfig into a recorder using only the physical controls on the Song Meter Mini Bat 2 hardware. For a full list of methods for programming a recorder's settings, see Configure the Recorder's Settings.

After the configuration file has been loaded and the Song Meter Mini Bat 2's settings are configured, it is no longer necessary to keep the configuration file on the SD card.

Procedure

  1. Save a configuration file to the top-level of an SD card.

    There must be only one configuration file on the card.

    See Manage Configuration Files for instructions on saving configuration files directly from a Song Meter Mini Bat 2 or by using a computer.

  2. Install brand-new or freshly charged batteries into the Song Meter Mini Bat 2.

    Partially drained batteries can cause the load process to fail.

  3. Set the recorder's ON/OFF switch to ON.
  4. Press the FUNCTION button twice to highlight the Load function LED.
  5. Press and hold the FUNCTION button, then let go when the Load LED begins blinking.

Results

When the process is complete, all four LEDs will blink green three times to indicate the recorder has loaded the configuration file.

If the configuration load operation is not successful, all four LEDs will blink red six times. If this happens, check that the configuration file was exported from a recorder of the same model and that it is saved to the top level of the SD card.
