Settings File Management
A settings file contains all DECS-250N settings including logic. A settings file assumes a file extension of
.bstx”. It is possible to save the logic only as a separate logic library file on the BESTlogicPlus
Programmable Logic screen. This function is helpful when similar logic is required for several devices. A
logic library file assumes a file extension of “.bslx”. It is important to note that settings and logic can be
uploaded to the device separately or together, but are always downloaded together. For more information
on logic files, refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter.
