A '+', '-', '.' or alphanumerical characters should not be used as delimiter values in ASCII
files. These characters can also be part of the point ID or coordinate values and if so,
will generate errors where they occur in the ASCII file.
All jobs, formats, codelists and configurations will be stored in the backup folder
created on the USB memory stick. The job data will be stored as individual database
files for each job, which can then be imported again. Refer to "13.3 Importing Data".
Job data can be exported from a job in GSI, ASCII and XML file types, or any other user-
defined ASCII format. A format can be defined in the Format Manager tool delivered
with the instrument. Refer to the online help of the Format Manager tool for informa-
tion on creating format files.

Importing Data

Data can be imported to the internal memory of the instrument via a USB memory
stick.
When importing data, the instrument automatically stores the file in a directory folder
based on the file extension. The following data formats can be imported:
Data Type File extension
GSI .gsi
HexXML .xml
ASCII any ASCII file extension e.g. .txt
Format .frt
Codelist .cls
Backup .db
1) Select Transfer from the Main Menu.
2) Select Import.
• Importing a backup folder will overwrite the existing configuration file and code lists
on the instrument, and all existing formats and jobs will be deleted.
• A backup can only be imported if the instrument database structure was not
changed by a firmware update. If the instrument firmware was updated, it can
happen that a backup created before the update cannot be imported. In this case,
downgrade the firmware to the previous used version, save the data in the way
required and then reload the new firmware.
A '+', '-', '.' or alphanumerical characters should not be used as delimiter values in ASCII
files. These characters can also be part of the point ID or coordinate values and if so,
will generate errors where they occur in the ASCII file.
