Commands
The Configure System commands allow you to accomplish these basic tasks:
� Change communications protocols between the programmer and the
RS-232 serial equipment connected to the programmer (such as a terminal
or host computer).
� Configure the Remote and Terminal ports to be compatible with your
terminal or host computer.
� Edit, save, or restore a set of programming features for the device type
you want to program.
� Access Keep Current algorithm files.
� Access Custom Menu algorithm files.
� Change Mass Storage Module settings.
These commands are described on the following pages.
Carrying a Configuration File Forward
When you update to a new version of system software, you can choose to
carry forward the current system configurations, including powerup defaults
and other user-defined system parameter settings stored in the sysparm.sys
file. The User Notes accompanying the software update describe how to carry
the configuration files forward for your particular setup.
Restore System Parameters
More Commands/Configure System/Restore/Restore System Parameters
System Parameters are all the parameters on the Programming, Serial I/O,
Communication, and Interface screens. With the Restore command, you can
restore a system configuration (a set of previously saved system parameters).
To restore a system configuration, follow these steps:
1. Select Restore from the Configure System Parameters menu.
2. The programmer displays a list of the configuration files that were saved on
the Algorithm/System disk. Look at this list of files and find the file number
of the file you want to restore.
3. Enter the file number of the configuration file you want to restore and
press ENTER. The programmer loads the system parameters and displays:
System parameters restored
Note: When you restore a configuration, the device algorithm selected
when the configuration file was saved (if any) will also be restored.
When you return to a screen, the cursor will be where you left it. Restoring
parameters to factory defaults or powerup defaults returns the cursor to its
original position. Restoring parameters to user-defined defaults has no effect
on cursor positions.
