Attribute
The saved setup to recall when the unit is turned on.
Usage
To read the power-on setup:
n = setup.poweron
To write the power-on setup:
setup.poweron = n
n
: Setup number to recall on power up (0 or 1).
Remarks
Setting this attribute to 0 causes the unit to power up to the factory default (reset) setup.
A setting of 1 causes the unit to power up using a user setup that was previously saved.
Example
Sets unit to power on to the factory default settings:
setup.poweron = 0
setup.recall
Function
Recalls settings from a saved setup.
Usage
setup.recall(location)
location:
Setup number to recall (0, 1, or "/usb1/<filename>").
0: Reset setup.
1: Internal setup.
<filename>:
Use the name of the desired file contained on a USB flash drive.
Remarks
If a number is sent as the parameter:
The number is interpreted as a setup number and the setup is saved to internal
memory. Setting this attribute to 0 recalls the factory default (reset) setup. Setting
this attribute to 1 recalls the user saved setup from internal memory.
If a string is sent as the parameter:
The string is interpreted as a path and file name and the setup is saved to the
corresponding file on the USB flash drive. The path may be absolute or relative to
the current working directory.
