escape from expert menu

[leojack]

Hi All: quest.on how to escape expert menu on my V3i and return to the stock program.I seem to be stuck in expert screen after trying to put in a new program and havn't been able to get back to 6 square menu.While I'm at it I named the new program from C/J, and now am unable to return to c/j which has been replaced with the newly named program.
Hope I've presented this in a coherent form, not a tecno-whiz and am new with the V3.Thanks for anyone who can understand the fix I find myself in.Thanks for any assistance on the above.....Jack from Pa

If I read the question correctly, just pull the trigger several times. You will back up one screen each time.

It sounds like that he needs to do a restore of the C&J program that was replaced with a custom program too.

I am also not sure what exactly your question is. Rob is right, pull and release trigger until you're back to the 6 block menu, again to get to your search screen. I suspect this isn't what you're after though. So, here goes what I think I'm reading...

There's an option in the configuration menu to set the menu default (6 block menu/expert menu). Get there by expert menu>Configure>menu>
There's a check box called Expert only. If you want your menu key to take you to the 6 block menu rather than the expert menu, make sure this checkbox is unchecked.

As far as your C&J program, do you want to save what you have, or ditch it and just get your original C&J back? If you want to ditch it, expert menu>program>Restore/Load>
In the name field, scroll through the program options - select C&J. Tab to the From window. Select Library program. This will grab the C&J stored from the factory.

If you want to save what you have,

Go to the expert menu>program>new/copy and save your program. So, if you changed C&J and this is the one you want to save away, select C&J in the Library program list. Do not select "Use library name" checkbox as you will want to rename it with a name you choose. Then tab down to the Name box and enter the name you want to call it. (Pressing enter in that field brings up a keyboard)

To restore coin & jewelry, go to "restore/load",
in the name field, select coin & jewelry (might go there as default, but if not use the up/down arrows to find it)
menu/tab to "from", go down to "library program" and then use the left/right arrows to select coin & jewelry
menu/tab to load press enter.

Hope that helped a little.

ETA: Rereading, sounds like you already saved your changes to another program. So, no ditching necessary, just restore C&J from the library.

Hi and thanks to all for the help escaping the expert>stock program.After much clicking and exploring I managed to return the stock program.The one problem that I ran into was the new name of the program I saved kept returning replacing what should have been C&j,in spite of the return to stock parameters of c&j
I then changed the name to original COIN&JEWELRY and everything appears to be back where it should be.
Why,I couldn't pull C/J (which I highlighted),from the library is a mystery unless I somehow changed the library name when I named the new program.In any case I ditched the old program name and renamed it appropriately C/J.
I am sure I have more reading and understanding to do before I attempt what at first blush seemed like a simple operation???
Once again thanks to all,and if anything in the above sounds questionable I'd like to hear from you.........Jack from Pa

You cannot change the original Coin and Jewelry. No matter what you do it will always be there, unchanged in the library.

Anne gave you good directions.
You said you had your original C/J program, rename it anything you want, Jack's C/J. Make all the changes you want and save it.

Now using Anne directions, "Use library name" and chose coin and jewelry and you will also have the original program, Jack's C/J and Coin and Jewelry.

This was a reason we were having a seminar. If I showed you instead of writing it out you would see how easy it is.

I replied to your post in Jim Bob's first time out with V3i thread.

Maybe I can help with the differences here. Restore/Load will only operate on the program that you have selected. So if you have program ABCDE, it will want to restore ABCDE from a saved copy, or load a library program into it. So, if you like the ABCDE name, but want the C&J settings, you can load the C&J settings from the library into that program. It will still have the ABCDE name.

New/Copy will allow you make a new program from the library. If you delete C&J from the list, or rename C&J (your copy in the list) to something else, you can get the original C&J back using new/copy as you are making a new copy from the library.

While you can erase your programs that you make, you CANNOT erase the factory library programs from the stored memory. You can remove them from the list, but you can bring them back anytime.

Ann: Much gratitude,for your patience and guidance. Used the New/copy key and low and behold there it was the missing c/j program I was seeking.Loaded it and have my new programs as well as the c/j.I apologize for my obvious lack of abilities with this adventure.
I work all day long with spreadsheets,and data entry one would presume I could figure this out,frankly I dont think so.
Thanks again for your efforts from one happy camper in pa.Now back to hunting my back yard till I figure this marvelous instrument out.

You're welcome. And no worries. Glad it clicked and you found what you needed.

She has spoken, Thanks, for the follow up to Anne's post. It's nice to know if the problem has been solved.
