Installed Project Folders

Three project folders are installed with the software: API Instrument, Default, and Example.
API Instrument Folder
The API Instrument folder is unique and very important to the correct functioning of the
instrument. The API Instrument folder contains the information required for tuning and calibrating
the instrument. This information includes parameter settings files, reference files, instrument data
files that contain calibration and resolution information, and the acquisition methods used during
automatic tuning. The API Instrument folder also contains data files for manual tuning runs that
were performed using the Start button rather than the Acquire button. These data files are saved
automatically in the API Instrument folder in the Tuning Cache folder and named with the date
and time they were created. The Tuning Cache is automatically cleared periodically.
