Saving Changes to Setup Parameters
When you exit the Setup Utility menu after you have changed any
parameters, the CNC displays the prompt “
Save Changes?
”.
Select one of the following:
Yes
(
F1
) to save the changes.
No
(
F2
) to cancel the changes.
Cancel
(
F9
) to return to the
Setup Utility
Menu
.
NOTE:
When

prior to changes.
All configuration parameters are saved in a configuration file,

file is saved; the CNC automatically creates a backup file,
(P6MCFG.BAK). The CNC provides utilities to manage the configuration
file. Refer to “
Section 4 - Configuration Utilities
” for detailed information.
