Select desired softkey.

To change the E5250A setup to specified setup memory

Select the GOTO SETUP softkey. The following message is displayed:

Input setup memory number to be connected?

Type the desired setup memory number, then press the Enter key. Current Setup Memory changes to the specified setup memory, and the E5250A changes to the new settings.

If you press Enter key without typing a number, the operation is canceled.

To copy a setup memory

Select the COPY SETUP softkey. The following message is displayed:

Input copy src & dest setup memory number: src,dest

Type the desired setup memory number, then press the Enter key. This operation overwrites the setup memory data. For example, to copy setup memory No.1 to No.5, type as follows:

1,5

If you press Enter key without typing numbers, operation is canceled.
