  • Page 28 ARM-C setting. In preparation to save a preset the various commands (PP, STSB, SARMC) are sent to the CUT-4 to configure it into the desired state, then the SAVE command is issued to save that configuration to a preset. Attempting to LOAD a preset that has never been saved will result in a NACK being returned.
