Retrieve last blackbox configuration

Retrieving the last blackbox configuration manually is currently possible for one ship at a time. To retrieve the configuration for a specific ship, right click on the ship in the ship overview screen and click Retrieve last blackbox configuration. The following screen opens, in which the statusses of the processes are shown:

If a connection can be made with the blackbox, the current binairy configuration will be retrieved directly from the blackbox.

After the configuration is retrieved, you can click OK to close the window and return to the ship overview. If you want to cancel the process in the meantime, click on Cancel. The configuration will not be retrieved then.

Note: if you would like to see the communication from and to the blackbox during the retrieval of the configuration, you first have to open the Terminal screen.
