Uploading Parameter Values
Parameter values can be uploaded from the drive to the toolbox to save the drive
settings in a toolbox configuration file. An upload is necessary after a self-tune or
when values are modified using the keypad. The toolbox reads all the values from
the drive and saves them in the toolbox configuration file. In addition to the
parameter values, four binary setup files are also uploaded. The four setup files are
prefaced with the drive name (for example, AVDV1setup0.dat) The .acb file and the
four setup files constitute a complete backup for the drive.
