Hey Larry, They're kind of hard to read but when you do a Keep Defaults SmartCAM writes a *.su file to your 'home' directory. The name of the .su file depends on your application and units. For inch FFM, for instance, the name would be ffdflt_i.su.
You can usually glean what you need from these files and usually the first section will be the control panel you just 'Keep Defaulted'. Hope this helps.
