Tip from Product Support: Archive Your Strategies

PSG engineer Josh says sometimes customers ask how they can get a PAC Control strategy out of their controller, and they're dismayed to find out they can't—unless they've already taken the important step of archiving it.

Archiving is easy. As the PAC Control User's Guide notes, archive files are date and time stamped, and zipped for compact storage. We recommend you archive your strategy to the computer during strategy development and to the controller when the strategy is completed. When you archive a strategy to the controller, you are placing the zipped file in battery-backed RAM. If power to the controller is lost, the archive is still there.

For steps to archive your strategy, see the PAC Control User's Guide. You can look up "archiving" in the index to find the pages quickly.
