The prompt file indicates information about all the configurable parameters in MultiLoad II.
As firmware is updated and new parameters are added, downloading a prompt file is how to
get these new parameters to display in the Configuration Tool.
The language that the parameter descriptions appear in is determined by the prompt file.
By setting the “Program Mode Language” parameter to the desired language, then
downloading the prompt file, all parameter description in the MultiLoad Configuration Tool
will appear in the selected language.
The configuration parameter values reside in “registers” internal to the MultiLoad II. After
these values are downloaded to the appropriate configuration file, the file can be edited, and
uploaded into an MultiLoad II.
