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 whenever you make any configuration or parameter
changes. The Restoring System Files procedure follows this procedure.
Materials required:
USB memory stick or CD-RW disc or DVD-RW disc
Time: 10 minutes
Analyzer mode: READY
