Exporting/Importing Profiles and Configuration via USB
Transferring Profile Files
Profiles can be exported and imported as individual files via USB thumb drive. This is useful for

Transferring Configuration Files
The F4T configuration file contains a “System Image” of all settings that determine how the
controller inputs and outputs work and how the display appears. The configuration file also
contains all profiles. It does not contain any logged data. The configuration can be exported for
archiving purposes. It can also be imported to restore the configuration from a previous archive.
! CAUTION: Configuration files are unique to each particular model chamber and must
NEVER be transferred to a different model chamber.

A progress bar will appear and then indicate 100% when done.
Importing a configuration file is accomplished similar to the profile import except you select
Configuration and then select the desired configuration file.
