Note.
Selecting 'Save as Current Configuration' suspends recording for a short time while the new configuration is implemented.
When saving the current configuration to internal storage, it is saved twice, once with the filename 'SM3000.cfg' and again
with the filename '<time><date><instrument tag>.cfg'.
When saving the current configuration to external storage, it is saved with the filename '<time><date><instrument
tag>.cfg'. It is also saved automatically to internal storage with the filename 'SM3000.cfg'.
When 'Save Configuration' is selected, the configuration file is saved with the filename '<time><date><instrument tag>.cfg'
to either selected location, internal or external.
Changes are saved to non-volatile memory only when one of the save options above has been selected. Any powerdown
before this results in lost configuration changes.
Selecting 'Cancel' discards unsaved changes and returns the instrument to the Operating level.
