There are further automatically generated settings such as 'last run', 'last session', or 'standard'. These settings are generated when you start a measurement, when you close SweepMe! or whenm you use "Set as standard". If you forget to save your settings, these settings might help you to restore your measurement

Settings as description

Whenever you save a measurement, the setting of the current procedure is automatically copied to your measurement data folder. This setting will later tell you how SweepMe! was configured. If you like to restore the measurement related to some saved data, you can simply load this setting again.
