THE CONFIGS MENU

The CONFIGS MENU allows the user to save or load up to 5 different
configurations. After selecting the appropriate configuration to either load
or save (1 through 5) hit the ENTER button and the configuration of the
unit will be saved. If the user tries to load a configuration that has not been
saved yet, the unit will send an error message of “Not Valid Config” and
nothing will be loaded. If the load or save is successful the active
configuration (ACTIVE CON: X) will reflect this with the correct setting.
*Note: if any values are changed, the active configuration will no longer be
valid and will reflect either -- or a ‘0’.
