HELPFUL HINT:
If a template file is missing some configurable fields, it may have been created while connected
to a VR with an older firmware version prior to the introduction of those fields.
To update the template file, perform the following steps:
1. Connect FRC to a VR running the most recent version of firmware.
2. Load the template file: File→ DPDP Files (Templates) → Load DPD File or File→ DCD
Files (Templates) → Load DCD File
3. Save a new version of the template file: File→ DPD Files (Templates) → Save DPD File
or File→ DC Files (Templates) → Save DCD File
The new template file can now be used off-line and will include previously missing fields.
