Once the parameters for a particular motor are established, it would be nice to preserve
them for future use. Users have several options from the Setup window display to do
just that.
Clicking on the Save button allows the current settings to be stored in a file, while
clicking on Load selects and loads a file with saved settings. Both commands use the
conventional Windows
as motor data files (.mcd extension). Neither of these affects the parameters currently
in effect in the on-board firmware.
The Default button replaces all of the current settings with the default settings associ-
ated with the current motor type. This may be useful for quickly starting over when a
set of parameters has been extensively modified and isn’t working.
The Download button transfers the currently displayed parameters to the on-board
firmware. It only changes the parameters and not the control firmware itself.

Storing and Using Setting Profiles
Attempting to load a motor data file that does not match the currently
loaded motor and/or control method type will generate an error message.
Remember that downloading a profile to the PICDEM MC LV Development
Board only downloads variable values; it does not download new firmware.
Similarly, loading and saving profiles only loads or saves the motor data file
to the computer, but does not load or save the file to the on-board firmware.
