Overwrite Primary Database with Mirror Backup
Your instrument includes two operational databases:
• A primary database used to store system information,
measurements, and setup data.
• A secondary mirror backup database. The mirror database is an
exact duplicate of the current system database, and is
continually updated in real time.
If database corruption is detected (e.g. from a memory failure), your
instrument will automatically prompt you to overwrite the bad primary
database with the good mirror database when you switch it on.
To overwrite your current system database with the mirror backup
database:
1. Press Options on the main menu.
2. Press Memory & System to open the Memory screen.
3. Press Swap to Mirror DB.
4. Press to overwrite the primary database with the mirror
backup, or to cancel.
NOTE: Once the mirror database has been overwritten, you should
immediately import all data from your instrument to Ascent. You
should then format your memory card before taking any further
measurements.
