You can save and load the configuration of your measurement as a setting. All settings are simple human-readable text files with the file ending ".set". Use any editor to see the content of your settings. You can find these setting in the folder "..\settings\"

Save a setting

If you have configured your measurement by using the Sequencer, go to Main menu -> Settings -> Save setting to specify the filename. There are some predefined setting file names which will be overwritten by SweepMe!, e.g. standard.set, standard_<user name>.set, setting_last_run.set, or setting_last_session.set and we recommned to not use these file names to save your individual settings.

Load a setting

To load a previously saved configuration, go to Main menu -> Settings -> Load setting to select a file. There are further automatically generated settings such as setting_last_run.set or setting_last_session.set which allow you to load the configuration of your last measurment or the configuration when SweepMe! was closed last time, respectively.

Set a standard setting

Often you want to perform the same measurement over and over again. In that case, store your setting as a standard which will be loaded at the program start. Go to Main menu -> Settings -> Set as standard.
