sample/program/ALL files that are saved when you save the data. When you load the project file, the sample/program/ALL files saved with

the project file will be loaded automatically and set the MPC500 to the same status when you saved the data. For example, if you select

SAVE: ENTIRE MEM when you save the data after finish working on it for the day, you can start the MPC500, the next day, from where
