ABSTRACT:
A data acquisition system having setup duplication capability so that the setup or portions of the setup of one appliance can be duplicated onto other appliances by electronic means without affecting the identity of each appliance. More particularly, a method and apparatus are provided for effecting a setup record change throughout a plurality of appliances. A first appliance communicates with an external probe that has a memory including at least a first and a second buffer. The setup record of the first appliance is stored in the first buffer. A second appliance is then communicated with through use of the probe and its setup parameter of the setup record buffer, then at lest one setup parameter of the setup record stored in the second buffer is replaced by a setup parameter of the setup record stored in the first buffer to create a new setup record and the contents of the second buffer are transmitted to the second appliance.
