Backing up system files
The system software consists of the operating system, data processing software, and user-
specific system and data files. Back up the system files to a USB Memory Stick or a
formatted CD/CD-RW/DVD disc on a regular basis or whenever you make any
configuration or parameter changes. The Restoring System Files procedure follows this
procedure.
Materials required:
USB memory stick, CD-RW disc or DVD-RW disc
Time: 10 minutes
Analyzer mode: READY
NOTE: A CD or a memory stick is easier to use than a DVD for this procedure. To back
up files to a DVD, refer to the online Operator’s Guide.
