1. Press the appropriate BACKUP softkey.
The system prompts you for a file name.
2. Enter a name for the backup file and press [TRANSMIT] .
The system verifies the file name and backs up the selected
parameters into the specified part program. You can restore these
parameters by selecting and executing that part program.
Parameters 100 -- 199 and 500 -- 999 are per-process values; only the
values for the ‘active’ process are backed up.
Important: If part program calculations cause an overflow value, then the
generated backup file contains an M00 and the parameter number followed
by the word “OVERFLOW” as a comment.
The backup file will also stop executing if the number of digits in the
parameter assignment exceeds the maximum allowed by the software.
This limit is no more than 10 total digits and no more than 6 digits to the
right of the decimal point.

Non-Modal Paramacro Call (G65) 20-50
Modal Paramacro Call (G66) 20-50
Modal Paramacro Call (G66.1) 20-52
AMP-Defined G-Code Macro Call 20-54
AMP-Defined M-Code Macro Call 20-55
AMP-Defined T-, S-, and B-Code Macro Call 20-56
Nesting Macros 20-57
When a paramacro is called, execution of the currently active part program
is halted, and execution is transferred to the macro program. Paramacros
can be called in the following ways:
programming G65 in a part program
programming G66 or G66.1 in a part program
setting the proper AMP data (calls a paramacro with the programming
of specific G-, T-, S-, M-, and B-codes)
