Managing the software database

Each computer running the software contains a local database that records the
information that you enter about the units. If you have multiple computers, you
can configure one computer and then save a copy of this database and load it
into the other computers to avoid unnecessarily reconfiguring each computer.
You can also export the database for use in another application.
Saving and loading a database
You can save a copy of the local database and then load it back to the same
computer where it was created, or onto another computer running the software.
The saved database is compressed into a single Zip file.
While the database is being saved or loaded, you cannot use or modify the
database. You must close all other windows, including target device session
windows. If other windows are open, a message prompts you to either continue
and close all open windows or quit and cancel the database save process.
To save a database:
1. Select File-Database-Save from the Explorer menu. The Database Save
window opens.
2. Enter a file name and select a location to save the file.
