Extracted Configuration
This file contains setting information for every module in a GARD chassis; it can be used to compare
settings between GARD chassis’s. When extracted a zip file named ce.zip is displayed. Unzip this file
and a directory named ce_rs is displayed, its file structure is shown below. RFL recommends the use
of the utility “Beyond Compare.” Using this utility will automate the comparison process
dramatically.

It is important to create a folder on your PC for each GARD chassis that has files extracted. Unless the
GARD’s have different folders the second GARD will overwrite the first. Note that this extracted
information does not contain Logic Files (files from the logic engine). The extracted files are Tab
Delimited Text Files and are best displayed in Excel. Excel will display a number of prompts to the
user; select which settings are appropriate. Below is a description of a typical extracted file.
The first four lines are heading information describing the relay; this is followed by the settings
information in columns from left to right, see below.
