Copy Main Gains to Alternate This command sets the values in the Alternate Gain Values
section by copying the corresponding values from the Main

by storing the main gains, adjusting the transferred gains, and
to then storing the adjusted gains as Alternate Gains.
Save Parameters Saves the current working values as power-up values in flash
memory for the selected On-Line drive and all of its children.

the Hardware and Installation manual for tuning details.
