What is Saved to a Showfile Vs Console?

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF
Some settings are stored on the console, some settings are stored in a show file, this article is intended to show where and how these functions are stored. 
  • Settings stored on the console will persist through different show files loaded onto that desk, but will not carry over to another desk. 
  • Settings stored to the show file will not be the same when a new or different show file is loaded. 

When performing a full system restore, It is important to know console settings will be set back to default settings.
