I was in the process of updating my wind curve when I must have fat fingered something because all I get now is this screen without the volts or amps adjustment on the right hand side..

I tried to do a quick start but that didn't change anything.

How can I get this back to the defaults?

thanks!

Might need to give it the serial number again if you cannot alter settings or you never unlocked it?

First screen in the "config" tab at the bottom "Unlock Code" which is the serial number of the Classic.

Seen mine lose that after a firmware upgrade and require it to be entered again.

Worth a try.

I am just trying to program it on the classic' s own display

Not sure what happened if it was programmed before, but when going into the graph screen,
the MNGP will read whatever curve is in the Classic's EEprom memory (the one curve in
the Classic itself.)

When I have seen this kind of weird graph before it is usually because the values for
the power curve came from some un-initialized memory somewhere.  All of the 9 user
memories in the MNGP are not filled with valid curves by default.  One of those bogus
curves may have been accidentally recalled somehow.

If it is strange like this, just press the MEM button (soft-left) and press the up or down
button to select the internal MNGP memories.  1 through 9 are user programmable
and above 9 there are several internal default curves.  When you find one you want
to recall, press "recall", the soft-right key.

Pressing recall will move that MEM curve into the graph and also send to the
Classic itself.  If you want to store that curve, either default or user mem curve
into the Classic's non-volatile EEprom memory so that the Classic remembers
that curve when it is powered off and back on again (or if it resets) then press
the ENTER button too.  Just changing a curve on the display does not make the
classic remember it when it reboots or is repowered or reset but it does go into
the Classic's temporary memory (RAM) as you are viewing it.

Then, if you want to save your changed curve for safe keeping in the MNGP
non-volatile memory, press MEM again, choose 1 through 9 and press SAVE.
You can save the same or different curves into any or all of those 9 MNGP
memories for future reference.  When you press SAVE in the MNGP to a
MEM location, the MNGP will remember which memory was last saved in
case you forget.

Remember that bringing up the GRAPH screen does not recall from the MNGP
memory but reads it from the Classic itself until you access the MNGPs MEM
memories and RECALL it at which time it is sent to the Classic.

And remember to press ENTER if what you see on the graph screen is
what you want the Classic to remember next time you turn its power off
and back on again or if it resets.

Also, anytime you are in any MNGP menu and press ENTER to save some
changed value like a voltage or limit etc, the Classic will save all temporary
changes in its EEprom non-volatile internal memory... Not just the value you
changed.

This all assumes of course that the MNGP is talking to the Classic and is addressed
(modbus address, usually 10), to the Classic it is talking to.
