Description
Save previously download soft fonts to EEprom
Parameters
None
Modes
All Modes
Notes
This command causes all the soft fonts in font sizes F1 to F5 to be saved to EEprom.
Downloaded soft fonts not stored in this way are lost when power is removed.
It is not possible to save just an individual soft font number or even all the soft fonts in a given size.
Soft fonts are restored with the <FR> command. This is not done automatically on power-up.
The font data is written as a block and will overwrite any previously stored data.
To add a soft font definition to the current stored values they should be restored to the instrument
memory first. The new font can then be downloaded and the entire new font set re-saved
Uses
