13.3 Archive Diagnostic Database Information
Diagnostic Database information can be archived, either as a complete database, or by individual
instrument. This feature saves considerable hard drive space, as it compacts the information into a
directory specified by the user, which may be on a network or other removable media.
To archive the entire Diagnostic Database, click
Archive Whole Diagnostic Database.
To archive one instrument, such as when an
instrument is being transferred to a new
location, click on the instrument on the “tree”
structure, then select the correct amplifier,
Reflectance or Transmission. Click on Archive
Diagnostic Database Instrument.
A dialog box prompts for archival up to the
current date. If another date is preferred, click
on the down arrow to select the date from a
calendar menu screen.
Click on the left and right arrows to select the
year and month. Click on the date from the
month selected.
Vision always leaves the first record in place, for
comparison to initial results. All other records up
to the selected date are archived to the specified
media.
Records archived from a computer are erased, and are no longer available on that computer. It is
imperative that the media containing the archived information be preserved to prevent loss of
Diagnostic Database information.
