- Default Export Format: sets which format the Export functions should use by default.
- Allow Send/Get: Unchecking this option will disable the Send/Get buttons in the Configuration view.
- Start in Monitoring Mode: If this is checked, EMT will automatically switch to the Monitoring View when launched.
