Loading benchmark data

You can load an additional set of motor data from the hard disk and display this for comparison (as a
benchmark). Press function key [F7] to display a list of motors. Select motor 11x3 and press the
[Enter] key.

The benchmark data are displayed as dotted lines. In the table the benchmark data are displayed in
the lower table (Motor 2).
