Are you sure about that? I know the config files contain the new delay parameters, but I am using a configuration built with the current configurator with my D400 running 7.1.3 and it's working perfectly. I assume that the older firmware simply ignores configuration parameters it doesn't understand. (Which is a sensible design approach from the point of view of maintaining compatibility in exactly this situation.)
Hey, its the mysterious workings of the configurator that I'm talking about - I can't be sure about anything - it was a guess in the early hours of the morning based on what I could see in the files
I compared the config file with one I generated before 8.1.3 and the only differences I spotted were were the 8 delay parameter lines (4 for ADH and 4 for DAC) and a line which says something like "hasSub :false".
I guess an alternative reason could be that Devialet put the warning on the Config download screen for every config that includes a SAM profile just in case there has been a change that could possibly cause problems" Who knows?
