5.6.4 Restrictions for SRAM Auto Backup

• Make sure the CF/SD Card free space is greater than the backup memory (SRAM) size. When there is no free space, the backup process will not start.

• While running [SRAM Auto Backup], the save functions to CF Card/SD Card will not run (such as sampling's save in CSV or [Save Data] from the [System Settings], [Display Unit], [Mode] tab). These processes will run once backup is complete.

• When [SRAM Auto Backup] is run while a sampling group is saving to CSV (automatic save), or while saving log data using [Save Data] ([System Settings], [Display Unit], [Mode] tab), until the backup is complete, writing to the CF Card/SD Card is paused.

• When [SRAM Auto Backup] is run while processes other than a sampling group's save to CSV (automatic save) or [Save Data]'s automatic save of logging data, the backup process will start only after writing to the CF Card/SD Card is complete.

• You can save only one backup file in a CF card/SD card. When backup data already exists on a CF/SD card, the file is overwritten.

Limitations on returning backup data to the display unit

In the offline mode's [Transfer] menu, select [Transfer from CF to SRAM] (or [Transfer from SD to SRAM) to return backup data in the CF Card/SD Card to the display unit.

• In offline mode, when you transfer from the CF/SD card to backup memory (SRAM), all the previously stored data is overwritten with the transferred data.

• If in the meantime you transfer a project with a change in how the backup memory feature is used, you will not be able to return the backup data to the display unit as the CF/SD card backup data will not match the project.

• You cannot return backup data to a model with different backup memory (SRAM) specifications.

• You cannot return backup data for GP-Pro EX Ver.2.1 to Ver.2.7 to the display unit using project files from versions before GP-Pro EX Ver2.1.

• You cannot return backup data for IPC series backed up on versions before GP-Pro EX Ver.3.0 to the display unit (IPC series) using GP-Pro EX Ver.3.0 or later project files.

• Backup data for the GP4000 series can only be used with the GP 4000 series.

  Display Unit   Backup data		GP3000 series/ST3000 series/LT3000 series	GP4000 Series	IPC Series (PC/AT)
  				Versions before GP-Pro EX V3.00	GP-Pro EX V3.00 or later

  	GP-Pro EX V3.00 or later	-	-	-

• In offline mode, when you transfer from the CF/SD card to backup memory (SRAM), the values for [Brightness], [Contrast], and [Volume] do not change. Note, however, that when the display unit enters RUN mode or is turned OFF and then ON again, the transferred information is used in operations.

• In offline mode, if you transfer from the CF/SD card to backup memory (SRAM), and if you are using VGA or SVGA display, the VGA/SVGA display may be adjusted.

• In offline mode, if you transfer from the CF/SD card to backup memory (SRAM), previously stored information for the Japanese FEP is overwritten. Consequently, the priority of characters in the Japanese FEP conversion list may change.
