Why Can't I Save the WT Settings for the WT500, WT1800, or WT3000 When Using WTViewer?

The WTViewer Save Setting feature will only save the setting information of the WTViewer. The Save Setting feature will NOT save the setting information of the instrument. The saved file for the WT500, WT1800 or WT3000 is a *.CFG format, which cannot save the settings of the instrument.
