Exporting files

This function also enables to recall and set the parameters defined in the screens corre-
sponding respectively to the File and Setup keys.
It is then possible to perform an acquisition under the same conditions as those of the
trace recalled.
• If the product was equipped with a different module from the current one when
the trace was acquired, certain configuration parameters cannot be updated. A
message warns the user of this.
• If several traces are selected, the configuration used will be that of the first trace.
• If the number of traces added and the number of traces present is greater than 8,
then the last traces added will not all be taken into account.
The configuration cannot be recalled if the trace was not originally cre-
ated by the equipment.

selected instead of the Explorer using the Explorer/Link Mgr menu key.
