• Tools > Module Backup opens a dialog that lets you enter a file
name. This file name (default extension .IMG) will be used to
store a backup of the entire module. This backup consists of
four or five files. The module type, module firmware release,
and other general information, as well as pointers to the other
files, are stored in the above .IMG file. The RAM information will
be stored in a file with the same above path and file name, but
with a .RAM extension. The port parameters and MTOP
information will be stored in a file with the same above path
and file name, but with a .PRM extension. The battery-backed
variable information will be stored in a file with the same above
path and file name, but with an .USR extension. If there is an
EEPROM present in the module, then ROM information will be
stored in a file with the same above path and file name, but with
a .ROM extension.
