The following section explain the buttons in the vManager, as seen in figure
13.1.
13.1 Backup
Backups of all the programming data inside the device can be made. This
backup file (an XML) is saved on the computer's hard-disk and can be easily
transferred via e-mail or USB stick. The data of the backup can be restored via
the Restore button.
Apps distributed by app stores are not allowed to access files outside this des-
ignated location. It is important to know where vManager is storing its files, in
case you wish transfer a backup file to memory stick or dropbox.
The designated file location differs per operating system and is likely to be a
long and obscure path. For this reason, vManager provides you with a shortcut
to the correct file location. A Folder button can be found in the file related
dialogs. Clicking this button will open a file browser at appropriate folder.
13.2 Upgrade Firmware
To upgrade the firmware, first select the device and press the Upgrade Firmware
button. The dialogue allows for selecting from the list of firmware versions
available.
Warning: Make sure the power to the device is not interrupted during the
upgrade process.
13.3 Set Date & Time
The computer's date and time can be quickly copied to the unit by selecting a
device and clicking the Set Date & Time button. Not all Visual Productions
devices feature an internal real-time clock.
