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).

UpdateSystem: Initiates an update of the firmware of the USC card. This is recommended in case of the message "New firmware available" or "Firmware newer than available".

EraseJobs: Deletes all jobs from the flash memory.

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

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

Set USC clock: Synchronizes the timer on the USC card with the time of the PC.

Backup State: Takes the folders cor, config and misc on the USC-3 card and puts them together in a zip folder. Saves this niofs.tar file where the user specifies. This feature is only available for USC-3 cards.

Restore State: Asks where the niofs.tar file with backup states is located, takes it and restores it to the USC-3 card. This feature is only available for USC-3 cards.
