DME32—Owner’s Manual
Saving Configurations
The current configuration can be saved to any storage media that can be accessed by the
Windows operating system. If your PC supports PC Cards, configurations can be saved
to a PC Card and then loaded into the DME32 via its card slot.
Note that configurations must be compiled before they can be saved. See “Compiling
Configurations” on page 61 for more information.

Choose Save from the File menu.
If the configuration has previously been saved, it’s saved and the previous version is
overwritten.
If the configuration has not yet been saved, the standard Windows Save As window
appears, in which case you need to enter a filename, select a folder, and then click Save.
Configurations are saved with a “dme” file extension, and can be managed (e.g., copied,
deleted, backed up, etc.) just like any Windows file.

Note that configurations must be compiled before they can be saved. See “Compiling
