Backing Up the Instrument Database
If you wish to transfer existing balance jobs or recordings to a PC for backup purposes, you can make a local copy of the instrument database using the vbXManager application. This instrument database can then be stored and returned to the instrument at a later time for review.
Copy Database from the Instrument
- Connect the instrument to the PC using the supplied USB cable or an Ethernet cable.
- Start the vbXManager application.
- Double-click your instrument (identifiable by its serial number) in the new window. The instrument properties window will open.
- Click the Tasks tab then the Copy button in the Copy Database area. Browse to the location you wish to copy the database to. Enter a name for the file in the File name: field and click the Save button. A copy of the instrument database will be saved to the chosen location with a '.pbd' file extension.
Copy Database to the Instrument
