Using the Switch Utilities
The user interface to the Switch Utilities is a standard Windows™-type interface structured like a set of tabbed file folders (Refer to Figure 3-2). Use the cursor to click on any tab and the screen will display a dialog box for that tab. The dialog box for the Setup tab is always the first that the system opens when entering the Switch Utilities.
Each tab is supported by the File and Help menus.
These paragraphs assume that you understand standard Windows interface practices (for example, how to control the cursor, use the keyboard, and how to save files etc.).

The Open command operates on the Flash tab only. The Open command prompts you to select the file containing the new Switch control code to be loaded into Flash memory.
File>Save
The Save command operates on a tab-by-tab basis. That is, if you perform a Save command while the Setup tab is selected, the system saves the contents of the data window of only the Setup tab. The first time you perform a Save for a particular tab, the system treats it like a Save As command and prompts you to name the file and indicate the location where you want the file to be saved. This file name/location becomes the default for that tab. The second and subsequent times you perform a Save command for that tab, the system appends the new data to the content of the old file. If you perform a Save As command for that same tab, you change the default file/location for the selected tab. The Switch Utilities will remember these default file names/locations for each tab from session to session.
You may use the same file name/location for each tab or have a different one for
