This section describes the categories of settings that are stored in Quadra, and
how these settings are stored and retrieved.
The following topics are discussed:
• Factory Defaults
• System Configuration
• User Configuration
• Settings Export/Import
• System State Values
• Timing Presets
FACTORY
. . . . . . . . . DEFAULTS
Quadra is shipped from the factory with pre-configured settings (parameters)
known as Factory Defaults. As soon as you begin to use the system, these
default settings will be replaced with your new settings.
New settings are automatically stored by Quadra in non-volatile memory. In
this manner, when you next turn on the unit, it will operate with the same
settings as the last time the unit was used (even if you had turned off the power).
If you want to return to the factory settings, use the RestoreFactoryDefaults
command.
SYSTEM
. . . . . . . . . CONFIGURATION
When you turn on Quadra power, the unit automatically loads settings for all
controls from non-volatile memory. This enables Quadra to function in the
same way as before power was turned off. This information, known as the
“System Configuration,” is stored automatically in non-volatile memory.
USER
. . . . . . . . . CONFIGURATION
Quadra enables you to save your own set of default settings. This allows you to
override the current settings and set up the unit in a way that you have
previously defined. The
SAVECONFIGguration command provides a manual
way to save the current system settings into non-volatile memory. The settings
may then be loaded at any time using the
RECALLCONFIGuration command.
This is equivalent to using the RestoreFactoryDefaults command, but using your
own set of default values instead of the factory defined defaults.
SETTINGS
. . . . . . . . . EXPORT/IMPORT
In addition to storing settings internally in non-volatile memory, Quadra
provides the ability to store settings to an external device such as a PC. The
settings are stored in a text file that can be exported to (or imported from) the
external device using the
SETTINGSEXPORT and SETTINGSIMPORT
commands. This file can be generated to contain all system settings, or a subset
Note Restoring factory defaults will not affect the IP address
settings of your Quadra.
