Hi, How many times can the EXEC POWER xxx command be run before the memory wears out? Could this happen in a year if the command is run 10 times a day from a script rather than via profile switching?
Will there be a fix to set POWER ON in the GUI rather than command line? How can the power settings be set differently for each profile in the command line mode? It is not clear if PROFILE n makes profile n active for subsequent set operations in the command line mode, or if it makes it active as the current profile when the OT2 is turned on.
