You created a living, breathing file Dave!

Here is one with more settings options.

# This configuration file must be text only and reside in the top

################################################## ######################
# Each time PowerFLARM is powered on, it looks for the file FLARMcfg.TXT
# in the top directory of the micro-SD card (portable) or USB stick (brick).
# PowerFLARM does NOT look at this file if the memory card/stick is
# inserted after the PowerFLARM has been powered on.
#
# FLARMcfg.TXT contains a series of commands that configure the
# PowerFLARM. These commands are in the same NMEA data format as used
# to control the FLARM over the NMEA serial data ports (lines starting
# with a dollar sign "$"). Lines starting with # are comments.
#
# Configuration settings from these commands are saved by PowerFLARM
# (except for diagnostic commands). The next time PowerFLARM is powered
# on without the memory stick/card, the settings are still in effect.
#
# Prepare your own version of FLARMcfg.TXT by editing this file
# (following the instructions below), and copy it to your memory
# device (SD card for portable, USB stick for brick). Make SURE
# it is named FLARMCFG.TXT in the top directory.
#
# After preparing your memory device, configure your PowerFLARM:
# (1) With power OFF, insert the memory device into PowerFLARM.
# (2) Turn on the power. PowerFLARM will read FLARMcfg.TXT and
# save your settings.
# (2a) Brick will blink a green LED once for every command
# processed - when it stops blinking or alternating colors,
# remove the USB stick.
# (2b) Portable will show "configuration read from FLARMCFG.TXT"
# on the screen.
# Note: Portable PowerFLARM can also be configured through its user
# interface; Brick REQUIRES configuration via USB stick .
#
# When you load a new software version into PowerFLARM, all
# configuration settings are reset to factory default. Copy your
# FLARMcfg.TXT file and the new software version to your memory device.
# Turn off PowerFLARM, insert memory stick, then turn on PowerFLARM.
# Brick will load new software - give it a few minutes !
# Portable loads new software after you click MenuInfoUpdate.
# As soon as the newly loaded software version starts, it reads your
# FLARMcfg.TXT file and saves your settings as above.
