FILE MANAGEMENT
In these paragraphs, file management describes saving, opening, uploading, downloading, and printing
settings files.
Saving a Settings File
If you change any settings in the active custom logic scheme and try to exit BESTCOMS, the dialog box
shown in Figure 14-43 appears. If you choose Yes, a file properties dialog box appears. The file
properties dialog box also appears if you pull down the file menu and choose Save or Save As. The lines
of information that are grayed-out are automatically entered based on the file name and relay identifier
information command (SG-ID). You may enter up to 50 characters in the Additional Info: field and 2,500
characters in the File Comments field. When you okay the dialog box, you are given an opportunity to
name the file and select the path. Clicking on Save completes the saving of a settings file.

Opening a Settings File
To open a settings file into BESTCOMS, pull down the File menu and choose Open. If the settings in your
BESTCOMS have changed, a dialog box will open asking you if want to save the current settings
changes. You may choose Yes or No. After you have taken the required action to save or not save the
current settings, the Open dialog box appears. This dialog box allows you to use normal Windows
techniques to select the file that you want to open. Select the file and open it and the file settings have
been brought into BESTCOMS.
Uploading a Settings File
To upload a settings file to the BE1-700 relay, you must first open the file through BESTCOMS or create
the file using BESTCOMS. Then pull down the Communication menu or the Ethernet Communication
menu and select Upload Settings to Device. You are prompted to enter the password. If the password is
correct, the upload begins and the percent complete loading bar is shown. At upload completion, you are
asked if you want to save the settings and make them active. After replying, you are informed of the
status: Yes - settings are saved or No - settings are discarded. If you would like to view the file names as
they are uploaded, pull down the Communication menu and select Configure. When the Configure
Communication Port dialog box opens, click the On button for Show Commands During Data Transfer
and then click OK. Now, during data transfer, you will see two screens (Sending and Status) and the
percent complete loading bar. If a data transfer error occurs, you can briefly see the error notification in
the Status window. The file settings will not be uploaded and the changes discarded. You may then scroll
through the Status window until you find the error notification. Click on the error notification and the data
file that transferred in error is shown in the Sending window.
Downloading a Settings File
To download a settings file from a BE1-700 relay, you must pull down the Communication menu or the
Ethernet Communication menu and select Download Settings from Device. If the settings in your
BESTCOMS have changed, a dialog box will open asking you if want to save the current settings
changes. You may choose Yes or No. After you have taken the required action to save or not save the
current settings, the downloading is executed.
