Decoder Configuration File

You can export a configuration file from one decoder, modify it and upload it to another decoder. This makes it much easier to configure all of your decoders the same way. This also gives you the ability to configure a decoder from your computer with a text file.

Downloading the Configuration File

As of firmware version 2.55 the decoder configuration file is copied automatically when a USB drive is plugged in to the decoder, the same way in which passings files are also copied. The file by default will use the decoder ID and is saved as a .toml file which is a standard type for configuration files.

On the System Menu there is an option to determine whether the exported configuration file will contain passwords or not, this is set to no by default. If enabled then passwords will be stored as plain text in the file.

Modifying the Config File

You can edit a decoder configuration file in any text application.

When changing a setting only apply values that are available within the decoder. For example, the On Detection setting has only three modes; BEEP, BLINK or BEEP and BLINK. You can not create a new mode where both BEEP and BLINK are false.

The available options for the configuration file are outlined below.

To avoid overwriting the original configuration file, always make sure to save your custom file with a new file name and set a new title. Files will be displayed on your decoder by their title name within the configuration file, not their filename.

Applying a new Config File

To upload a decoder configuration file you need to place the file on a flash drive within the raceresult folder, it is easiest to use a USB drive which already contains the automatically copied file directory.

e.g. raceresult>D-5662>MyCustomConfig.toml

Once you have added your configuration files to your USB drive, plug the USB drive into your decoder. You will be asked if you want to view the available configuration files.

                                      y e s                                    

If you do not want to upload a new configuration you can press no, otherwise select yes to view the available files.

C h o o s e   a   c o n f i g   f i l e .

                                  >   O K   <                                  

If more than one configuration file is present on the USB drive then you can scroll left/right to select the file you want to upload and then press OK. All of the settings in the file will be used to update your decoder settings.
