Backing up the transmitter configuration

Use this RRM option to make a backup copy of the configuration parameters in the transmitter database.
The backup file can be used to restore the transmitter configuration. It can also be used for configuration
of a transmitter in a similar application. Parameters in the saved file can be uploaded directly to the new
device. It is recommended to store the transmitter configuration in a backup file.
The backup function is available from the Device menu in RRM.

1. From the Device menu, select the Backup Config to File option.
2. Browse to the desired directory.
3. Enter a name for the backup file and select the Save button, so the transmitter configuration is
stored. The backup file can be used at a later stage to restore an accidentally changed configuration.
The backup file can also be used to quickly configure transmitters installed on similar tanks. To upload
a backup configuration, select the Upload Config to Device option from the Device menu.
The backup file can be viewed using the Backup File Reader installed with the RRM software:
