Back Up the NGC Database
You cannot start the ChromLab Administration tool while ChromLab is running on
the client computer. Before you back up the NGC database, ensure that ChromLab
is not running on the client computer and that the NGC instrument is idle, that is, no
manual or method operation is running.
Note:
You must have Windows administration privileges on the ChromLab
computer to run the ChromLab Administration tool.
