What about the Default Parameters?

Options Menu > What about the Default Parameters?

Previous versions of Temprecord software implemented a "default" set of parameters that could be loaded into the parameters dialog when the settings were read from the logger.  The defaults were more or less like a named parameter set, but there was only one of them, and they didn't have a name.

Although the parameter defaults have effectively been superceded by Named Parameter Sets, the original default parameter settings are still implemented.  The way in which they are used has changed slightly, but it is unlikely the changes will be visible, or affect how you use the Temprecord program.

•The defaults are now stored in a Named Parameters Set called (appropriately) Defaults, in a NPS file named Defaults.nps.

•When Temprecord starts, if the Defaults.nps file isn't found, a new one is created, and the default parameters initialized with whatever the existing parameter defaults were.  This means that the first time you start this version of Temprecord, it will read your existing default settings and assign them to the Defaults.nps file.

•The Default Options tab is still present, but has had additional controls to allow you to load default parameters from a Named Parameters Set and also save the default parameters to a Named Parameters Set.

•The button in the Program/Parameters dialog to load a logger's settings from the defaults is still present and still behaves as it did before.

•The option to load a logger with the defaults when reusing a logger in Auto Mode is still present, and you also now have the option of loading the logger's parameters from any Named Parameters Set in Auto Mode.
