32 Backup and Reset Procedures
Reset PMAC to Last Saved Backup File Parameters
Every time a backup file is created in the backup utilities page, a copy is saved under the BACKUP.CFG
file name. With this command, PMAC can be reset at any time to the last saved configuration file, reading
it from the BACKUP.CFG file.
Reset PMAC to Last Memory Saved Parameters
After a SAVE online command has been issued (see below), PMAC maintains its memory contents either
with a battery or with a flash type memory. The type of backup memory depends on the particular type of
on-board PMAC memory that was ordered. With this type of reset, which is the $$$ online command,
all the variables will be returned to the last saved values.
Reset PMAC to Factory Defaults
With this type of reset ($$$*** online command), all PMAC variables can be reverted to the factory
default values. This is important when PMAC is configured for the first time. After performing this
procedure, all programs inside the memory will be erased and all variables will be configured to the
default values.
Save Parameters in PMAC Memory
With the SAVE online command, the values in PMAC memory will be saved and kept under a reset or
power-up cycle. It is important to save the PMAC memory contents every time a change has been made
to any of its variables or programs.
