5.6. Saving and Loading Control Unit Memory
ACS Saver saves a control unit's memory contents (including the adjustment values,
programming, program results, etc.) to a PC file. ACS Loader loads that file to another control
unit, ensuring that the two control units operate identically. ACS Saver/Loader greatly simplifies
the task of maintaining uniformity between control units.
