Saving parameter set
NOTICE
Loss of configuration data
Do not remove the memory card or switch off the supply voltage while the parameter
set is being saved. Otherwise all parameters not yet saved permanently will be lost.
b
To safely remove the memory card during operation, select the
Remove SD card
command under
Analysis/SD card
in SOPAS ET after the saving process is complete.
Then wait for the feedback from SOPAS ET.
External data back-up
1.
Permanently saving the parameter set of the device:
Parameters
>
Save permanently
.
✓
The device stores the parameter set internally in the permanent parameter mem‐
ory.
✓
The device additionally saves the parameter set in the external storage medium.
2.
Additionally, save the parameter set manually as a project file (
*.sopas
) on the
computer.
Manual saving as project file (
*.sopas
): the saved configuration data can be transferred
to the replacement device via download and saved there permanently.
Automated saving on external storage medium: after being switched on, the device
automatically loads the compatible parameter set from the external storage medium
into its working memory and into its internal, permanent parameter memory. Connec‐
tion to the computer is not necessary for this purpose,
.
This enables a device to be quickly exchanged with a replacement device of the same
type,
see "Replacing the device", page 42
.
Interpretation of the stored parameter set
Once it is switched on, the device automatically detects an external storage medium.
The subsequent device behavior depends on the content of the storage medium. The
goal is for the internal parameter set and the parameter set saved externally to always
be identical.
Content of the storage
medium
Device behavior
Empty
If the parameter set is permanently stored via SOPAS ET or a com‐
mand, the device also saves the currently valid internal parame‐
ter set on the storage medium. The prerequisite is that there is
enough storage space. The device then starts with its internal
parameter set.
No parameter set possible
to interpret
Parameter set possible to
interpret
The device permanently overwrites the currently valid internal
parameter set with this external parameter set. The device then
starts with its new valid parameter set.
