Notes:
A setup file can only be loaded by the same application as was
used to save it. For example, a Reflector setup file can only be loaded by the Reflector application.
Loading a setup requires the Network Master to have the same
SW options installed as when the setup was first saved. If any options are missing, a pop-up window is displayed, showing the missing SW options.
It is necessary that test is added at Test Automator after loading
a setup file which is created by MU909060A Setup application. For example, since the Y.1564 test is not added on the Test Automator screen after loading the setup file, add the test and start a measurement.

By default, when a test schedule is finished or stopped by the user, the results are saved automatically to internal memory.
Note:
The Ethernet application has a user option under the General Setup menu which allows the auto-save function to be disabled. Press disabled, results must be saved manually as described below.
The path to the results is /Data/results. The extension for saved result files is .res.
The results files are given a file name automatically with the format:
YYYY-MM-DD@HH-MM-SS.res

YYYY = Ye ar MM = Month DD = Day HH = Hour, 24-hour clock MM = Minutes SS = Seconds
An example of a file name is 2008-12-31@23-59-59.res.
The time in the file name is the time when the schedule was finished or stopped.
If the memory is full when the auto-save function attempts to save the results, an error message will be displayed as shown in Figure 2.7.3-1 belo w.
