Figure 4: Flash settings

Available buttons are explained in the following:

Load: Opens the dialog to load a job into the job list. The new job will be added to the list at the first free slot.

Delete: Deletes the selected job from the flash memory.

Configuration...: Opens the Flash Configuration dialog ( see figure  5 and table 2).

To prevent Laser accidents, please make sure to unpower your laser or disconnect it from the USC-card before pressing this button. Please restart your USC-Card afterwards. Then reselect your old correction file and store the new settings.

PCMode: Activates the communication to the USC card via FCI commands (in the "Command" line).

SetupDefaults: Clears all customized settings on the card and restores default settings.

SaveJobs: Saves all jobs currently in the job list in a new folder created in <SCAPS>\jobfiles.

LoadJobs: Loads all previously saved jobs onto the card. Those jobs should follow the convention: jobnumber_jobname.unf, for example 2_infinitecircle.unf.
