4.6.6.6 Backup or Restore Align Data…
Opens the utility for backing-up or restoring alignment data. Since this utility cannot
be run while the instrument software is running, a prompt tells you to shut down the
instrument first:
Press OK and the instrument will shut down and open the backup utility.
Alignment data for the instrument resides on the hard drive in a database. Keysight
uses high quality hard drives; however, it is highly recommended the alignment data
be backed-up to storage outside of the instrument. Additionally, for customers who
use multiple CPU Assemblies or multiple disk drives, the alignment that pertains to
the instrument must be transferred to the resident hard drive after a CPU or hard
drive is replaced. This utility facilitates backing-up and restoring the alignment data.
NOTE
This utility allows you to navigate to any location of the Windows file system. If
you are backing up alignment data to storage outside of the instrument, then it is
assumed that you will use a USB memory device, or Mapped Network Drive.
Processor Assembly types PC6 and PC7 contain a removable SD memory card.
When one of these CPUs is installed, the Backup and Restore Alignment Data
wizard defaults to the SD card as the backup location. At every power-on, the
software will check to determine if the calibration data on the SD memory card (the
backup) is newer than the data in use on the disk. In such situations, before the
application is loaded, you are given the opportunity to restore the data from the
backup. If you respond Yes, the Backup and Restore Alignment Data wizard (see
"Alignment Data Wizard (without Flash)" on page 2154) will be invoked to perform
the restore.
Processor Assembly types PC6S and PC7S contain an internal flash EEPROM, as
well as a removable SD card. When one of these CPUs is installed, the Backup and
Restore Alignment Data wizard defaults to the internal flash as the backup location.
