Is it possible to download the configuration on a CenCom unit to then modify? Or if I don't have the original file, do I have to start over?

I read through the manual and only saw how to create a config and open an existing config.

Thanks,
Rob

Yes, when you first open the program their will be 3 options. The bottom option, extract a configuration, will read the program off the Cencom unit.

I'm having issues transferring the configuration to the unit. I have tried 2 USB cables, and 2 different computers, yielding the same result of it not working. When I attempt to transfer it, It says "Specified Whelen device not found". The indicator light next to the USB port on the unit flashes rapidly blue. The unit is a Carbide system. Any thoughts as to what may be the issue?

Just so you know the carbide has to have power to it and the ignition input powered on to program it.
