To Store A Configuration - HP 64746 User Manual

Chapter 4: Configuring the Emulator
Using the Configuration Interface
At the last question of a configuration section, you are asked if you wish to return
to the main menu. You can click the "next_sec" softkey pushbutton to access the
questions in the next configuration section.
To recall a configuration question, click the "RECALL" softkey pushbutton. If you
do this at the starting question of a configuration section, you are asked if you want
to return to the main menu.
In order for the emulator to recognize any configuration changes, the configuration
must be applied to the emulator.

To store a configuration

• When answering the configuration questions, choose File→Store... from the
pulldown menu, and use the File Selection dialog box to name the configuration
file.
• From the configuration interface main menu, click on the "Apply to Emulator"
button, and use the File Selection dialog box to name the configuration file.
• If you're using the Softkey Interface, the last configuration question,
"Configuration file name?", lets you name the file to which configuration
information is stored. If you don't enter a name, configuration information is saved
to a temporary file (which is deleted when you exit the interface and release the
emulation system).
The file to which the configuration is stored becomes the current configuration file.
The emulator only recognizes configuration changes when they are stored or loaded.
When modifying a configuration using the graphical interface, you can store your
answers at any time. This is useful for quickly verifying the effect a configuration
change has on the emulator.
Configuration information is saved in a file with the extension ".EA". This file is
the "source", ASCII format copy of the file. (The interface will create a temporary
file with the extension ".EB" which is the "binary" or loadable copy of the file.)
