Save Option: /Tunable

You can save only the tunable variable values in a particular task

using the /Tunable option. Enter the name of the task at the filename

prompt and /Tunable at the option prompt. The list of values will be

saved to the default path with the same filename as the task, but with

the extension .TUN. If you specify the /All option as well as the

/Tunable option, the tunable values will be written to separate .TUN

files. You can view or edit a .TUN file using the text editor. The task

does not need to be reconstructible to save tunable variables.

14.4.3

Save Option: /Include

You can save only the tunable variable values in a particular task

using the /Include option. Enter the name of the task at the filename

prompt and /Include at the option prompt. The list of values will be

saved to the default path with the same filename as the task, but with

the extension .INC. If you specify the /All option as well as the

/Include option, the tunable values will be written to separate .INC

files. You can view or edit a .INC file using the text editor. The task

does not need to be reconstructible to save tunable values using this

option. Note, however, that the .INC file being created will contain

only the tunable variable values. If a .INC file with the same name

already exists on the personal computer, it will be written over. If the

original .INC file contained information other than tunable variable

values, this information will be lost.

14.4.4

Save Option: /Log

The /Log option is used to generate a log file of any errors that

occurred while tasks were being saved from the AutoMax Processor

or UDC module. If you enter the configuration file name at the

filename prompt and specify the /All option as well as the /Log

option, the log file will have the same name as the configuration file,

but with the extension .LOG. If you entered a specific filename at the

prompt, then the .LOG file will have the same name as that file, and

the extension .LOG. You can view or edit a .LOG file using the text

editor.

Recovering a Rack

The procedure that follows describes how to recover the

configuration information and tasks for a rack from the AutoMax

Processor(s). It is possible that the configuration information and

tasks on the AutoMax Processor(s) could be different than the

information on your personal computer. This situation could occur if

the rack configuration was changed using another programming

terminal, and then the changes were not copied to the original

system, section, and rack. In this case, the latest rack configuration

and task information would exist only on the AutoMax Processors in

the rack. This should not normally occur.
Note that the rack to be recovered will be treated the same as an

AutoMax V2 rack that is being imported. This means that you will lose

the module data, but recover the variable mapping. Before

beginning, read sections 5.3.9 through 5.3.9.6. These sections

describe how to import an AutoMax V2 rack, which is the second part

of the rack recovery procedure. Note that this procedure will recover
