MTS Series 793 - Manual (Page 33)

Sample Project in a typical 793 installation as displayed in Windows Explorer
In a typical installation, and for Projects created with the standard Projects template, the Calibration Files,
Config, and Procedure Templates folders exist outside of the Projects folder at the locations shown in the
graphic above.
Benefits of default folder locations in Projects
By default, Projects store information centered around test results (that is, test design files and resulting test
data), and access system and controller information by reference from other locations.
While you can use the Project Manager to change the paths of referenced folders, their default locations may
be beneficial to many installations, as described below.
Calibration Files folder
By default, the Calibration Files folder is installed at the system level (outside of the Projects folder). This
allows multiple Projects to access common calibration information. It also facilitates archiving and backup
functions by limiting the amount of information stored in Projects.
Config folder
By default, the Config folder is installed in a subfolder of the Controller folder. The Controller folder, like the
Calibration Files folder, is installed at the same hierarchical level as the Projects folder.
This organization separates Project information from files and settings that are specific to the controller, such
as the hardware interface file (.hwi) and controller settings files.
Procedure Template folder
By default, the Procedure Template folder is installed in the MPT folder at the system level (outside of the
Projects folder).
This allows multiple Projects to access common MPT procedure templates (default.000). This also facilitates
archiving and back-up functions by limiting the amount of information stored in Projects.
