Appendix A 

The recalling of previously stored presets can also be implemented externally via the 
GPI port. To sanction this facility, tick the GPI controls preset recall box.  

See Section 2.3 for further discussion of GPIs and pinout details. 

Resets 

The user has the choice of performing a total factory reset or a partial reset. Pushing 
the Erase Presets button will return all parameters to their factory default values and 
erase all user stored configuration presets. Selecting the Load Defaults option will 
perform the same reset to factory defaults values but will leave any user stored 
configurations unaffected. 

Note: 

Factory reset will erase all user stored presets
