Saving Programs

or Switches), the Save button's LED lights to indicate that a change has been made to that
Program. The Save button is located left of the display. To save a copy of the Program with
the changes you've made, press the Save button once. The Save button's LED begins to blink
and it calls up the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number to that
will be associated with the program you are saving.
