Using the Snapshot Feature

The Snapshot feature provides you with a single-step method for saving all of the current settings (ranges, attributes and current output data values) as the power-up state for the bank.

Caution  Using the Snapshot feature overwrites any power-up values you have specified for individual channels using the configurable power-up method.

Caution  Make sure the factory configuration checkbox is unchecked when you are using the Snapshot feature.

To use the Snapshot feature, follow these steps:

1. Bring all channels to the desired power-up settings, including ranges, attributes, and output values. Using the Snapshot saves the current network watchdog data values. It does not save any other network watchdog settings.
2. Select the bank in the Configuration tree.
3. Click the Snapshot button. Click Yes and Apply to approve the change.
4. Select Tools»FieldPoint»Save or click the Save button.

You may want to change the stored Snapshot information later. To make incremental changes to the Snapshot information, use the configurable power-up method.
