Foxwell 530 - How to save settings?

Hi, I just bought a bi-directional scanner Foxwell 530 but, unless I missed reading it somewhere, where can you save the air suspension' settings for the car? BTW, I do see that the scanner let you save them into a file with a file name. Could someone with this same scanner helps please?

I have a foxwell scanner, it was setup specifically for my mbs, incuding w220.

I was not able to save much at all

I ended up putting it in its box and storing it away. imho, the company falsely claims what it can do. It will diagnose and display a rudimentary code number, and sometimes a description, but it was not able to do very much related to the two way communication required to resolve issues... i know have a C4 (wink wink "Xentry") system and it is unreal how good it is combined with the dts monaco and Vediamo software..unfortunately the C4 was almost a grand at the end of the day...

God luck with the foxwell, i really believed it would do more for me...

I think it is worth its small cost, but it is limited, I hope it has improved since my 2019-2020 interactions

I bought a Foxwell 530 about 3 years ago. First step was to install a software update that required tethering to PC. The update install crashed. Repackaged it and shipped it back. Bought a Topdon AD600 and more recently a Launch Elite 2.0 Benz. Both are far better scanners.

I’m not sure 100% as yet but it looked like my ride height calibration did get saved as set (via manual calibration using Foxwell NT530). There is a couple video clips on YouTube showing how to save the settings. Search for Foxwell NT530 & Mercedes. So, so far, Foxwell 530 worked.
