5-8 Backing Up Data to a Computer (
Backup
)
Settings for the 4 categories shown below can be saved to or loaded from a computer.
This is a useful function for making the same settings on another device. Also, as a countermeasure
against data corruption and equipment failure, it is recommended that settings are backed up to a
computer.
Example of Operation at the Computer
This section describes data transfer procedures, using Hyper Terminal, a
standard tool for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT4.0/2000. This example is
based on the presumption that an RS-232C cable has been connected to the
COM1 port on the personal computer. Make the necessary adjustments when
the cable is connected to a different port. If using different communications
software, refer to the relevant manual. Data is transferred using XMODEM
(-CRC or -SUM) protocol. XMODEM (-1K) is not supported.
NOTICE
Do not turn OFF the power or input a RESET signal while a message is being displayed in
any save or load operation. Data in memory will be destroyed, and the Z500 may not
operate correctly the next time it is started.
