CHAPTER 2: GALILEO 616 FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

A Galileo 616 project is the organizational structure in which one or more snapshots — full

configurations for all parameters and system settings — are kept. The Galileo 616 holds only

one project file at a time and allows the user to scroll through and load any snapshots con-

tained in the project.

The Compass control software, running on a computer, does not have its own memory for

system settings and parameters, and just reads what it is connected to. So when Compass is

connected to a Galileo 616, it reads and displays the project file and the current active snap-

shot that is contained in the unit’s memory. However, loading another project file (stored on

the computer) into the Compass control software when it is connected to a Galileo 616

replaces whatever project file is currently in the Galileo 616.

CAUTION: Opening a project file in the Compass control software when the

computer is connected to a Galileo 616 will overwrite the project, and its snap-

shots, residing in the Galileo 616 (if the Overwrite option is selected when opening the

project). To merge snapshots from another project file into the current project in a

Galileo 616, use the Merge Project option on the Open Project dialog box (click More

for this option to appear).

TIP: You can use the Compass control software to read and save the

Galileo 616’s project file (and the snapshots it contains) as a backup procedure.

This file can be saved in the computer (or to a network server, CD, or other storage

medium) and later reloaded via Compass to the Galileo.
