Loading/Saving F3400/F1000 Configuration Data
This menu allows user configurations to be saved and reloaded onto other F3400/F1000, or in
the unlikely event the F3400/F1000 fails, a replacement F3400/F1000 can be quickly placed
back in service after loading the saved configuration information. The configuration settings are
saved to a binary file for backup purposes, which cannot currently be edited off line.
