Periodically, verify that your hard disk drive has enough free space for data acquisition. The
amount of available disk space is shown in the Disk Space dialog box.
To determine the amount of available disk space
1. From the Home Page window (which is available by choosing Start > All Programs >
Xcalibur > Xcalibur from the Windows Taskbar), choose Actions > Check Disk Space
to open the Disk Space dialog box. The Disk Space dialog box lists the following:
• Current drive and directory (for example, C:\Xcalibur\system\programs)
• Number of Mbytes that are available (free) on the current drive
• Percentage of the current drive that is available
• Total capacity of the current drive
2. To select another disk drive so that you can determine its disk space, click the Directory
button.
3. When you have completed this procedure, click OK to close the dialog box.
