Use

All wash formulas and configuration settings can be exported to external storage devices. It is al-
so possible to import wash formulas and configuration settings from an external storage device to
a MilTouch™ machine. We refer to this flow of data as “data transfer.”
Data transfer has three purposes:
• creating backups
• sharing formulas with similar or identical machines
• formula development on a PC
5.1.1 Data Backup

Your machine's wash formulas and configuration settings can be lost due to data corruption, unau-
thorized changes, tampering, or controller hardware failure. If backup files were correctly main-
tained, you can restore the data and return the machine to production quickly.
You can select from either of the following two media on which to store backup files:
• Internal SD card—This card, which should never be removed from the machine unless it be-
comes damaged, stores all of a MilTouch™ machine controller’s internal memory. The active
wash formulas and configuration data currently used by the machine are stored in one (small)
partition of this card that only the controller can access. The other (large) partition, approxi-
mately 1.8 gigabytes of available memory, is available as a convenient location to store back-
up files. Although the SD card is located inside the machine controller, the storage partition
of the controller’s SD card is considered an external storage location for the sake of this
manual.
• USB drive (memory stick)—A USB flash drive can be used with or instead of the internal
SD card. As a removable medium, a USB drive can keep your data safe in case your SD card
becomes damaged. Every time wash formulas and/or configuration settings are changed and
finalized, transfer a backup copy of this data to a USB drive. Use only a blank flash drive or a
flash drive you previously set aside for data backup (see Section 5.1.4 : The USB Flash Drive
Formatting Requirement, page 95). If you plan to use the USB drive as the final storage loca-
tion, clearly label it and place it in a secure location. A USB drive of good quality is more im-
portant than one with a large memory size.
There are four recommended ways to store data for backup:
