3.4 Backup
In order to preserve your work in case the computer is damaged, you should regularly backup
a number of files. Assuming that the default location was used during installation then backup
all MS Access database files found in the following two folders:
C:\Dynatest\FwdWin\MDB)
C:\Dynatest\Elements\MDB)
In particular:
TestSetup.MDB Test Setups
8082-075.MDB Equipment calibrations (sample file name shown here)
Sections.MDB Roadway Sections
3.5 Software Upgrades
Updates and upgrades to the Dynatest DDC program suite are periodically posted to, and may
be downloaded from, the following location (simply type the address in your internet browser
or click the hyperlink): TUTUftp://ftp.dynatest.com/downloads/DDCUUTT
If programs are installed on top of (i.e. in the same folder as) a previously installed version, it
will automatically detect the equipment license file 8082-123.mdb (example) from the
previous installation. If DDC fails to find a license file it will run in simulator mode only.
If the existing hardware information was found and imported successfully, the FWD serial
number(s) will be accessible in the introductory screen.
If DDC finds information for multiple FWDs/HWDs, it will import information for all of
them. The user can then select the appropriate unit by clicking on the serial number box. A
License Code is required for each unit.
If the search for hardware information failed, then the serial number will be displayed as
“8082-XXX” and the program is permanently in simulator mode (until hardware information
is obtained and the required hardware is connected to the computer).
To the extent possible when upgrading database files the program attempts to keep the users
previous settings (window positions, language support, hardware settings, test setups etc.).
