Opens a profile (select a filename)
Saves profiles in files
Note: The last used profiles are also shown in the filer menu.
Tips about profiles
• Use profile for making standard setups of Phoenix.
• Profiles are saved in files. These files can be shared with other users.
FPS-8
Introduction
• Used for flashing and writing serial numbers.
• AKA prommer.
• The FPS-8C is a so called parallel version of FPS-8 (is able to flash 8
