Read in all of the CAFD FDL sets by right clicking on each green-checked CAFD and select "Read Coding Data".

Then go to explorer and navigate to the CAFD directory (mine is C:\ESysData\CAF) and copy the .ncd files somewhere safe. The .ncd (net coding data) are the value sets for each CAFD.

If you have to revert them, you can use those to restore the settings to the factory defaults.

I've also heard that you can restore to factory vales by selecting the "Code" option when the CAFD is active. I have not tried it myself. I think Shawn is the expert on this.
