Saving Programs
If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers (Sliders, Wheels
or Switches), the Save button’s LED lights to indicate that a change has been made to that
Program. The Save button is located left of the display. To save a copy of the Program with
the changes you’ve made, press the Save button once. The Save button’s LED begins to blink
and it calls up the Save Dialog. The Save Dialog allows you to choose an ID number and
name that will be associated with the program you are saving.
