Save Current Configuration for All Parameters to a File (INIt > SAVE)
Select Save Current Configuration Settings (SAVE) as the command to execute. If no thumb
drive is present the failure code E010 is displayed. Otherwise, a numeric designation for the
save file is then specified and confirmed before the SAVE command executes.
Important Note: The configuration file is a tab separated text file with a “.TXT” extension. It
can be loaded onto a PC, read into Excel then modified there. Once modified, save it back as
a tab separated .TXT file and it can then be loaded back into the unit using the INIt > LoAd
command. This capability can be especially useful for editing complex multi ramp and soak
programs. For more information on the configuration file format, see the “Load and Save File
Format Manual”.
Select a numeric file name from the range 0–99.
Confirm the SAVE command. This saves the configuration to the file number specified. If the
SAVE operation fails, the failure code w004 is displayed. If the SAVE operation is successful,
doNE is displayed.
