How to close BTCONF
TIPProcedure
To disconnect from the receiver, click the
Disconnect button. To quit BTCONF, click Exit.
It is strongly recommended to close the connection with the
receiver and close BTCONF prior to switching the receiver off
and disconnecting the cable.
After you close the program for the first time, you will see the
file btconf.ini appear in the directory from which the
executable has been launched. In this .INI file BTCONF will
store all its settings. BTCONF will automatically modify the
contents of the .INI file as the user makes changes through the
program's controls.
If you want to have more than one copy of BTCONF, each one
with its own unique settings, you will need to keep these copies
in different directories. Running different copies of BTCONF
from different directories will allow you to maintain unique
settings for each of the copies.
