The Program Files for the Visual Spreadsheet program are by default located at C:\Program
Files\VisualSpreadsheet. The items found at this location may include:

are stored. When the 'Load Factory Defaults' button is selected in the Context Load tab, you will
be prompted to choose a context file from this directory.

loaded by VisualSpreadsheet on first use.

General Computer Specifications
The FlowCAM typically utilizes a Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and 500GB+ HD (larger hard drives are
preferred for image storage). The Operating System presently used is Windows 7 but older systems
employ Windows XP Pro. Overall, the typical new PC today should work with the VisualSpreadsheet
satellite software package with a License dongle.
