1. Only one Spyder in engineering mode at a time if possible
2. Go to normal mode when not engineering a controller
3. Make sure to put controllers in normal mode before a station save and before restarting or rebooting.
4. If on a JACE, wait a minute between going to normal mode and restarting or rebooting. This gives the JACE CPU enough time to save the control program to a file.
5. When copying a station to or from a JACE or PC be sure to copy the VirtualXL10 folder over. The Spyder programs are in this VirtualXL10 folder.
6. Have backups of the station from various time frames.
