What code module do I modify to change mode from 220VAC/50HZ to 120VAC/60HZ, since I'm not running a GUI?

Clay,
Sorry for delay in replying. The software we provide with the kit is current source inverter and does not regulate the output voltage. And the output voltage will be whatever the load and power fed relation will make it for build level 2 and level1.
Can you elaborate if you want a voltage source inverter?
Then the code we provide for the kit is not directly usable, it does not have the outer voltage control loop and will need to be modified.

Clay,
As this is a solar inverter it needs to run two loops
1. Inner current Loops
2. Outer Voltage Loop which regulated the DC Bus (required for MPPT operation)
As the kit has been designed for connection to the grid the current compensators have been tuned assuming there is a grid present and this makes the current control simple.
In the documentation if it says that the outer voltage loop is disabled/enabled it refers to the DC Bus control loop and not the voltage of the inverter output which is not controlled by the SW associated with the kit.
For what you are trying to do you will need an outer voltage loop on the inverter output voltage, and the inner current loop may need to be re-designed. In this case as the load can vary the performance of the inner current loop can vary.
Please let me know if you are looking at a specific page in the documentation where it says the output voltage of the inverter can be controlled. And i'll investigate if there is a hidden mode i am not aware of :D
FYI some users have successfully use the kit as output voltage controlled inverter (like a UPS), however i am fully aware of the control and methodology followed to achieve this.
