Platinum Load & Save File Format
1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The following document defines the file format used by the Platinum series Load and Save
commands.
The Save command is intended to capture the configuration of a Platinum series controller and save
it on removable media (ie: USB Stick memory).
The Load command is intended to read a configuration image from an external device (ie: USB
memory stick) and store it on a Platinum device.
The file format used is an ASCII text file, with tab delimiters between each field. These files may be
reviewed or modified using a simple text editor or application programs such as Microsoft Excel that
support reading tab delimited files.

2 File Format
The file format uses multiple records with each record having one or more fields. The ‘tab’ character
is used to separate fields within a record. All data information is represented by ASCII strings. Each
record is terminated by a CR/LF (0xd/0xa) character sequence.
Records fall into three general categories:
1) Comment / blank records
2) Keyword records
3) Data records
Record
Type Tag character Use Example
Meta Record % Defines
operations/information
other than data records
%File <tab> Platinum_0000.txt
Comment // Allow users to insert
comments to document
files
// This is a comment
Blank Line Allow separating blocks
of information
Data record <any
printable
character>
Defines data to be read
or written INPUT_SENSOR <tab> 2
NOTE: The first record within the file must contain the Keyword %Platinum.
2.1 Meta records
The following Meta Records are defined:

%Segment <tab> xx

2.1.1 User Meta-records
Additional meta-records may be defined by the user. Upon loading, they will be ignored and the data
will not be retained. User meta-records are not generated during the Save function.
Future versions of Platinum f/w may include support for Date Created, Date Loaded, Author and other
meta-record information.
2.2 Comments
All text following a double slash (//) will be ignored. Users may add comment information on blocks of
records on individual records following the data field.
Note that load function stops parsing the record after the data field has been captured. Extraneous
characters following the data field will be ignored.
Blank records (lines) are ignored.
2.3 Data records
Data records consist of 2 fields, an item and a value, separated by a tab character.
Item <tab> Value
2.3.1 Item Field
The item field provides a named field from the device data base.
During the load operation unrecognized items will be ignored. This allows configuration files to be
maintained across versions that introduce expanded items.
2.3.2 Value Field
The value field will be generate as either a floating point value (xx.x) or an unsigned 32 bit integer
(xx). The parser will process all characters up to the first non-numeric character.
2.4 Device Configuration Records
Device Configuration records allow loading data that enable / disable specific device features.
Device Configuration records may only be written when the device serialization mechanism is in the
write enable state. During a Load operation these records are ignored device serialization
mechanism is not in the write enable state.
During the Save operation all Device Configuration records as written to the file.
