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:
- 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.
- Select the bank in the Configuration tree.
- Click the Snapshot button. Click Yes and Apply to approve the change.
- 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.
