VIEW MEMORY SIZE

This allows you to see how much memory is left for scenes and shows. It is
displayed in kilobytes remaining. Memory usage will vary depending on the size
and complexity of the scenes that are recorded.

SAVE MEMORY FILE

This allows you to back up the content of the entire memory including all menu
settings, scenes, presets, chases and shows to a PC using the RS-232 port or to a
MIDI device. Selecting this menu brings up a second menu where you select the
Com port or the MIDI port to send the memory file to. Read the section at the end
of this manual on backing up the memory for more information.

LOAD MEMORY FILE

This allows you to restore the memory from a backup that was made using the
RS-232 port and a PC. This menu configures the RS-232 port for the memory file and
waits for the file to be sent from your PC. Read the section at the end of this
manual on using the computer port for details on how to back up and restore the
memory this way. The only way to exit this menu is to turn the power off.

UPDATE SOFTWARE

This allows you to update the Show Designer 1 software using a PC connected to
the RS-232 port. The message "DOWNLOAD NEW PROGRAM" will appear when you
press "enter". Show Designer 1 will wait for the proper file to be sent from a PC to
the RS-232 port. The message "RECEIVING NEW PROGRAM" will appear as it
receives the new software file. Upon completion, the system will reboot. The only
way to exit this menu is to turn the power off. You can also call this menu by
pressing and holding "MENU" and "ERASE" together while turning on the power.
Refer to the section titled "Using the Computer Port" at the end of this manual for
more details on how to do this.
