When saving the CMM Configuration via menus:
Miscellaneous

Does this save a specific machine tab that is connected or does this save all machine tabs?

I am trying to save a specific machine tab named:

Is this what needs transferred to the planner when programming off-line, and you need the live machines settings?

I guess its safe to assume its all machine tabs.

Yes, it saves all machine tabs. The file it creates is a zipped archive, so you can rename the *.set to *.zip and check the content. Keep in mind however that the folder names and structure is a bit different from that of the actual Calypso folder.

By the way, it was only yesterday that I found out Calypso 2022 doesn't save the old protform and formplott folders anymore.
I know, custom printout is rotting in the grave, but I'm one of many who're still using it, and I'd prefer to be informed by Zeiss when the amount of saved data gets changed.
I'm really using this function for my everyday backup routine and I RELY on it saving all the important data it has saved from the beginning. What's a backup worth if I can't rely on what it covers? What's even worse is that it doesn't even bother you with an error message if it can't save a certain file. Happened to me with the stylus database (!) a few years ago. It was only by chance that I discovered the file was missing.
