4.2.3 Saving or opening a setup file to/from file
The complete motor setup can be saved to file, or retrieved from file, and transferred to
the motor. The setup files can be saved anywhere on any media. Saving and opening a
file over a network drive is also possible.
The setup files use the extension .MAC. By default, the setup files are saved in the same
directory where MacTalk itself is also installed. Other directories can be selected.
From file to motor.
Use Open to select a file containing the desired motor set-
up. When opening the file the setup will simultaneously be
sent to the motor.
Remember to use the Save in Motor button if the setup must
be permanently saved in the motor.
From motor to file.
