I think I've verified that with my device saving the calibration seems to
also save the stimulation type and frequency range. These are recalled at
the higher-level RECALL menu. Saved four different calibrations, and the
associated simulation type, frequency range, and calibration set were
loaded. I'm new to this so thanks for putting up with this.
