Backing up parameters

[underthetire]

So, i got our TM2 configured for the laser, got our old rotary table working and calibrated. I would like to back up all the parameters on to a USB stick. Anyone have an idea how to back up parameters on the USB? It's a 2011 TM2 Btw.

press LIST PROG
select the USB
(Optional file name)
press F4
select SAVE All-BACKUP
press WRITE/ENTER

Glad I found this thread!! Thanks Ken.

I just did a backup of the offsets on a 15 month or so old VF2SS. I opened it in cimco edit and all of the numbers are there. As far as loading these values back onto the machine when we re-run this job, what is the procedure? When I saved the file, I just called it 'offsets' and there is no .TXT or .NC or extension. What should I change the extension to to reload the offsets? I've checked the HAAS manual and it is sorely lacking in info :-(

This would be better put in a new thread of its own. Your subject is for offsets. The original post was for machine parameters.

Whether it's parameters or offsets, loading them back in is easy. When you select save all it saves multiple files with different file extensions. Here is an example list:

VF-2.par
VF-2.ofs
VF-2.set
VF-2.pgm
VF-2.var

If you want to reload just the offsets, follow this procedure:
press LIST PROG
select the USB
Select the file
press F4
select LOAD OFFSETS
press WRITE/ENTER
