2.1 Using ProSoft Configuration Builder
ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) provides a convenient way to manage module
configuration files customized to meet your application needs. PCB is not only a powerful
solution for new configuration files, but also allows you to import information from
previously installed (known working) configurations to new projects.
2.1.1 Setting Up the Project
To begin, start PROSOFT CONFIGURATION BUILDER (PCB).
If you have used other Windows configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout
familiar. PCB’s window consists of a tree view on the left, and an information pane and a
configuration pane on the right side of the window. When you first start PCB, the tree
view consists of folders for Default Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in
the Default Location folder. The following illustration shows the PCB window with a new
project.
