# Compare Configuration: Ribbon Menu

The ribbon menu can be found above the table view style grid. Its contents and active icons may change in line with the selection of cells, rows, or columns in the grid. The menu is separated into several groups.

- Device: Settings in this group are related to devices and their configuration files. Use the Add Device... button to open up a dialog box where one or more device can be selected to be added to the comparison. The Add Config File... button opens a wizard where you can browse for a config or backup file (.dmb,.cdc,.cfg). If the selected file for the device does not contain all the required information, the missing parameters must be set, otherwise, default options are automatically selected. The same applies to cases where the virtual device database can not match parameters to the options available (for example, matching firmware version is not found).

  Note: Added virtual devices are read-only, as marked by the padlock icon in their header row.

  Clicking the Remove Device button removes the device(s) currently selected (the one that contains the currently selected cell(s)). Reboot Device reboots the selected devices. Persist Config on Device saves the configuration file of the selected device into its flash memory. Use Reset Factory Defaults to reset the selected device(s) to their defaults.

- Editing: Use Copy (or Ctrl+C on the keyboard) to copy a value from the currently selected cell. Paste can only be used in the same row or in any text editor. Reset Values is used to reset the value(s) of the selected cell(s).

- Highlighting: Buttons and settings in this menu group provide options to highlight specific cell backgrounds. With the Non-Default Values setting, cells that have non-default values are highlighted (this may be different in a single row for different devices or read setups). The Difference to Reference setting highlights cells that have different values from the cell in the same row of the reference read setup (and device). The third setting is selected, all values and headers are highlighted that contain the text specified in the textbox. Additionally, the contained text itself is highlighted with a different text background. Pressing Enter applies the function of the Show Highlighted Rows Only button as well.

  When enabled, Show Highlighted Rows Only collapses all nodes that do not have any sub-node that is highlighted. When activated, the Set Reference Read Setup specifies the read setup (and device) that is used as a reference when the Difference to Reference highlighting mode is used. When the button is active, the currently selected cell’s column (read setup) becomes the reference setup. The current reference setup is marked in the setup name header row.

- Filtering: Set Read Setup settings to see only settings that are read setup dependent. Set Global settings to see only settings that can not have different values in different read setups. Set All settings to see all settings at once. If an entry has values in more read setups, they are visible in different columns.

- Other: Use Expand All Rows to expand all the rows that have been collapsed in the grid. Use Collapse All Rows to collapse all expanded rows in the grid. Reset Layout recalculates the column widths to use up all available space. If the available space is not enough, a minimum column width is applied.
