into groups containing various configuration and/or monitoring functions. To view the
tab windows, simply click on the tab. The previous tab window will be hidden as the
new tab window is brought to the foreground.

The
File Tab has three sections. Any of the options on this tab can also be accessed
from the File submenu.
The
Template Section provides for opening and saving templates. The Save and
Save As buttons provide the standard Windows functionality for dealing with files.
The Load button is used to open existing templates.

will be saved under this new name.

the unit or download the program’s current template to the unit.
