Chapter 5. Using Parameter Files

The current DMS Go settings, which include most of the functional settings, can be stored as a parameter file. When a stored parameter file
is later recalled, all active function settings are modified to match those contained in the file. After a data set is loaded, the newly active
functional settings may then be modified if desired, and saved for later use. The PARAM menu allows users to select, save and re-load up to
twenty thickness gage parameter sets with corresponding A-scan images. When a parameter set is saved by selecting SAVE P-SET, the
settings of all of the parameters (except the user preferences listed below) are retained. You can then apply this set of parameter settings
(usually associated with specific applications such as tanks or cooling tubes) to a data file by selecting LOAD P-SET.
When an existing P-SET is loaded or applied to a new data file, the current instrument settings are automatically replaced by the stored
settings and the stored A-scan image is displayed. These settings can then be adjusted as required. The saved P-SET can't be changed. If you
wish to modify an existing P-SET, first make the changes, delete the existing P-SET, as described below, and save the new parameter
settings using the same P-SET name. This feature provides the following two major benefits:
1. Storing and recalling calibration setups saves time, ensures consistent data, and minimizes calibration errors. Transferring setups to and
from a computer also saves time and allows identical setups to be stored in multiple instruments.
2. A-scan images and parameter sets associated with specific applications, such as pitted or thin wall conditions, can be saved in a
consistent format and later recalled, printed, or transferred to a computer for documentation and analysis.
All settings (including current A-Scan) are saved except the user preferences: language, radix, brightness, screen color, orientation, zero
block and reference block.
