Backing up parameters

In addition to the programs, you can also save R-parameters and global user variables.
You can use this option, for example, to back up the required arithmetic parameters and user
variables for a specific program. If you want to execute this program at a later point in time, you
will then have quick access to the relevant data.
Note
Backing up parameters from part programs
Parameters from part programs can only be backed up if they have been saved in the
"Workpieces" directory.
For part programs that are located in the "Part programs" or "Subprograms" directory, "Save
parameters" is not listed.
Backing up data
Which data is offered for backup depends on the machine configuration:
Data
R parameters
Global R parameters
UGUD parameters
Global UGUD parameters
MGUD parameters
Global MGUD parameters
Directory
File name
For multi-channel machines, the parameters of the active channel are always backed up.
Job lists
If you select Back up parameters for a job list, the parameters of all programs that it contains are
backed up.
The name of the job list does not agree with the names of the programs it contains. To
nevertheless permit the unique assignment of the parameter files, they are always assigned the
same name as the associated program. You cannot change these file names.
