How do I set the power-up settings in FieldPoint for an FP-TC-120 on an FP-1000 interface?

Each time my computer reboots I find the channels on the FP-TC-120 read in what appears to be voltage (i.e. ~.0000561) even though FP Explorer shows the channels configured as -270 to 1770 Cel. I find I have to Edit each FP-TC-120 module at which point I get "The attribute, range or powerup values do not match the current file settings. Which would you like to use?" When I click the File button and then Accept the channels start reading in degrees once again.
I tried the Snapshot and Powerup state saving directives but I do not get the factory configuration checkbox nor the Snapshot button.

Rick,

You need to right-click on the FP-1000 and choose Edit This Device. You will then have a checkbox in the middle right portion of the window called Factory Configuration. Un-check it. At this point, every time the FP-1000 is re-powered, it will configure all IO modules with the "User" configuration, rather than the factory default configuration. Note: You must do these steps while the FP-1000 is connected to the computer and powered on.

I found that I had to actually right click the FP-1000 and choose "Add a device to this server" to see the Factory Configuration checkbox. I unchecked that box and also clicked the Snapshot button. I found after doing so that the system would boot with the desired units of measurement on the temperature channels. I did not try just unchecking the Factory Configuration checkbox alone.
