- Only one Data structure file can be uploaded at the same time. Command Connect, intended for multiple file transfer, is not supported in previous generation testers. Uploading of new Data structure files deletes the existing Instrument memory content.

- Command option Download to New file should be chosen, when downloading Instrument memory data.
