5.3 Storing Instrument Set-up Files
Storing of Instrument Set-ups is controlled from the
menu function:
Setup/Functions > Setups > Store Setup.
(as described in section 4.9.1)
This function enables a complete instrument set-up to
be stored as a file within the internal memory. (N.B.

directly, although files can be copied to external
memory later).

the current default file name), and pressing will
store the file under that name. However, the option
also exist to change the name before saving.

which can be used to enter any name of up to eight characters that the user may choose.
In the event that a file with that name already exists, a warning message will be displayed.
The default name can also be changed by pressing . Any name of up to five
characters can be used - see section 5.1.1.1
It is also possible to delete or rename files from this screen by pressing - see
section 5.5.

pointer operated by the and keys shows
which file is to be executed.
The keys that control the file selection are in a vertical
list on the right hand side.
