Save Option: /Tunable
You can save only the tunable variable values in a particular task
using the /Tunable option. Enter the name of the task at the filename
prompt and /Tunable at the option prompt. The list of values will be
saved to the default path with the same filename as the task, but with
the extension .TUN. If you specify the /All option as well as the
/Tunable option, the tunable values will be written to separate .TUN
files. You can view or edit a .TUN file using the text editor. The task
does not need to be reconstructible to save tunable variables.
14.4.3
Save Option: /Include
You can save only the tunable variable values in a particular task
using the /Include option. Enter the name of the task at the filename
prompt and /Include at the option prompt. The list of values will be
saved to the default path with the same filename as the task, but with
the extension .INC. If you specify the /All option as well as the
/Include option, the tunable values will be written to separate .INC
files. You can view or edit a .INC file using the text editor. The task
does not need to be reconstructible to save tunable values using this
option. Note, however, that the .INC file being created will contain
only the tunable variable values. If a .INC file with the same name
already exists on the personal computer, it will be written over. If the
original .INC file contained information other than tunable variable
values, this information will be lost.
14.4.4
Save Option: /Log
The /Log option is used to generate a log file of any errors that
occurred while tasks were being saved from the AutoMax Processor
or UDC module. If you enter the configuration file name at the
filename prompt and specify the /All option as well as the /Log
option, the log file will have the same name as the configuration file,
but with the extension .LOG. If you entered a specific filename at the
prompt, then the .LOG file will have the same name as that file, and
the extension .LOG. You can view or edit a .LOG file using the text
editor.

Recovering a Rack
The procedure that follows describes how to recover the
configuration information and tasks for a rack from the AutoMax
Processor(s). It is possible that the configuration information and
tasks on the AutoMax Processor(s) could be different than the
information on your personal computer. This situation could occur if
the rack configuration was changed using another programming
terminal, and then the changes were not copied to the original
system, section, and rack. In this case, the latest rack configuration
and task information would exist only on the AutoMax Processors in
the rack. This should not normally occur.
Note that the rack to be recovered will be treated the same as an
AutoMax V2 rack that is being imported. This means that you will lose
the module data, but recover the variable mapping. Before
beginning, read sections 5.3.9 through 5.3.9.6. These sections
describe how to import an AutoMax V2 rack, which is the second part
of the rack recovery procedure. Note that this procedure will recover
