You can select this type of start-up in order to save the original status of the controller. The
files are archived in the "original.arc" file.
The file is stored on the CompactFlash card in the Archives/Manufacturer directory.
If there is no "original.arc" file in the directory, it is recommended that an archive be
generated from the data of the original controller state as delivered.
As for "Create start-up", control components can be saved individually or jointly.
