Importing and Exporting GPRM Configurations

If you find yourself needing to copy scripts from one project to another (using item
descriptions), you will find that it is much easier if you can be sure that each project uses
the same GPRM configuration. One way to do this is to export the GPRM configuration
from the project with scripts you want to copy from, and then import that GPRM
configuration into the project you want to copy the script into.

Important:

You can only copy a script from one project to another project if the GPRMs

used by the script are partitioned the same way in both projects.

When you export a GPRM configuration, a file is created that contains the partition
information for each of the GPRMs plus their names.

When you import a GPRM configuration, the GPRMs are changed to match those in the
file, including the names. Some things to keep in mind:

• Any GPRMs that are already in use by a script will not be reconfigured, and a warning

will appear. All other GPRMs will be reconfigured.

• The names of all GPRM registers are changed to match those in the file you are

importing. Any GPRMs that are already in use are not affected.

To export a GPRM configuration

1

Configure the GPRM register partitions, including changing their names if needed.

2

Do one of the following:

• Click the Script Inspector’s Export button.
