To make the LED display module work properly, we need to load the right RCG setting file and CON connection file by Linsn LEDStudio LED display control software.
How to Load the RCG and CON Setting Files by LEDStudio
1. Run Linsn LEDStudio and open Options → Software Setup.
2. In the Software Setup window, do not modify any parameters. Simply type “linsn” on the keyboard. A password input window will appear — enter the password: 168.
3. Load the RCG setting file and CON connection file into the LED control system according to your screen configuration. Then send the files to the LED receiver card and save them to the receiver memory to ensure the settings remain effective after power cycling.
4. The CON file defines the physical screen layout (for example, a 5×3 cabinet arrangement).
You can customize the CON file based on your actual LED display resolution and controller configuration.
5. After the RCG and CON files are successfully sent and saved, the LED display is fully configured.
You can now play videos or images through the controlling computer using Linsn LEDStudio LED display control software.
FAQs
The most common password to enter the “Software Setup” in LEDStudio is 168. You first need to type linsn on your keyboard (without a text box) to trigger the password prompt, then enter 168.
RCG file: Contains the driver parameters and scan settings for the individual LED module. It ensures the LEDs light up correctly.
CON file: Defines the connection layout (cascading order) of the receiving cards. It ensures the content is displayed in the correct position across the whole screen.
If you don’t have the original file, you can try the “Read from Receiver” function in LEDStudio. Go to the “Receiver” tab and click “Read from Receiver.” However, this only works if the hardware supports data readback and it wasn’t factory-locked.
This usually happens due to three reasons:
- USB Cable: The USB cable between the Sending Card and PC is loose or faulty.
- Driver Issue: The Linsn USB driver is not installed correctly in Device Manager.
- Power: The Sending Card or the LED controller box is not powered on.
It is not recommended. RCG files are highly specific to the LED driver IC, the PCB circuit design, and the refresh rate. Using an incompatible RCG file may result in a black screen, flickering, or even potential hardware damage. Always ask your manufacturer for the specific .rcg or .rcfg file.
