# Configuration file in Microsoft Excel format

In older versions of Smart AMS, prior to 1.5, all configuration settings, including Global Configurations, Station List, SAMS Recipe List, and Constants were stored in an .xlsx configuration file.

Smart AMS Config has been added since version 1.5. You can import your existing .xlsx configuration file into Smart AMS Config, and then fine-tune the configuration.

You can continue to use .xlsx configuration files in Smart AMS v. 1.8, too.

The Constants worksheet in the configuration file should not be edited.

An .xlsx configuration file, once imported into Smart AMS Config, cannot be exported back in the same format. Configurations can only be exported to .dat or .pdf files.
