Replacing the Model 3196RC
If you isolate a problem to the a Model 3196RC component, the entire Model 3196RC must be replaced
as follows.
Exporting the current Model 3196RC configuration
The 3196RC T-DAC provides Import/Export functions. These functions enable you to back up (export) and
restore (import) your T-DAC’s configuration parameters against possible failure. Should your T-DAC ever
need replacing, a previously saved copy of your (exported) configuration file can quickly be loaded (imported)
into a replacement T-DAC.
Note Import/Export functions require superuser access privileges.
Note The parameters that will be exported are the power-up settings as they
are stored in flash memory and may not be the current operating
parameters. To ensure that you export the most current parameters,
go to HOME, then under Immediate Actions, click on the Record
Current Configuration button.
1. If you already have an exported backup copy of your current configuration, go to “Removing the defective
Model 3196RC” on page 82. Otherwise, go to step 2.
