Other Functions
Backing up Setting Data
Settings for the three categories shown below can be backed up in a PC.This is a convenient function
when it is desired to set many conditions with different measurement setups or perform the same settings
on other machines. It is recommended that settings are backed up in a PC as a countermeasure against
data corruption and equipment failure as well.
Do not turn the power supply off or input a RESET signal while a message is being displayed in any save or
load operation.Data in the memory will be destroyed, and the Controller may not operate correctly the next
time it is started.
Backing up in a PC
This section describes the 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 PC.
Make the necessary adjustments if the cable is connected to a different port.Refer to the relevant
manual if different communication software is to be used.
Data is transferred using the XMODEM(-CRC or -SUM) protocol.
The XMODEM(-1K) protocol is not supported.
