Configuration register programming can be done once hardware configuration is set with jumpers. Configuration registers are set in the Data Memory screen and are different from the status registers displayed in the Registers screen. See the BQ76907 data sheet and supporting documentation for register information. When a configuration file is available it may be imported to set all operational selections at once. However, a configuration file loaded with Data Memory Import can load as little as 1 parameter, so the user needs to be familiar with the contents of imported files. With a new device or after loading a configuration file, individual register changes may be made. Configuration register programming typically involves the following general principles selected in various register names:

1. Selection of the protection features to be enabled
2. Selection of the protection thresholds for the enabled features
3. Setting the FET control options
4. Exporting (saving) the configuration register file for future use
