Presets
Allows up to 64 card user settings configuration presets to
be saved in a Preset and then recalled (loaded) as
desired. All current settings (including list selections and
scalar (numeric) control settings such as Gain, etc.) are
saved when a Preset Save is invoked.

Presets allow convenient recall of custom user settings performed on the card. Presets are especially useful in defining card
settings to invoke particular actions upon receiving a GPI trigger (see GPIO Controls (p. 3-52) for more information) or when
used in conjunction with Event Based Preset invoke (see Event Based Preset Loading (p. 3-55) for more information).
When a preset is invoked, only the setting changes called by the preset are re-loaded, avoiding unnecessary delay or signal
disruption that would otherwise result from a global control preset change.
The Preset Name field allows entry of
names that are useful in describing the
purpose or action of a particular preset,
as shown in the examples here.
(Up to 62 ASCII characters can be
entered.)
• Preset Save stores all current card control settings for the
selected preset (in this example, pressing Save for Preset 1
(“norm”) saves all current card control settings to Preset 1 -
norm.
• Pressing Load recalls a preset.
• Pressing Delete clears a preset. (After a delete, pressing Load
replaces the deleted preset with factory default settings.)

Download (save) card presets to a
network computer by clicking
Download Presets
– Save at the
bottom of the
Presets page.
Browse to a desired
save location (in
this example, My

The file can then be

(RCVR21 Presets
in this example)
before committing
the save.
Upload (open) card presets from a network
computer by clicking Upload

Note: • Preset transfer between card download and file
upload is on a group basis (i.e., individual presets
cannot be downloaded or uploaded separately).
• After uploading a presets file, engagement of a
desired preset is only assured by pressing the
Press To Load button for a desired preset.
