installed any new programs then a new backup point would restore these. Option 2

6.5 Software Upgrades
From time to time, Fann makes software upgrades available that provide increased
functionality or problem fixes. Generally, the only file that needs to be upgraded is
CementLab.exe. It is located in the C:\Program Files\Fann folder. If it is necessary
to install an updated CementLab.exe file, it may be copied from the USB memory
stick. It may also be copied over a network if the instrument is connected to one.
To copy the file from a memory stick, put the new file on the memory stick,
rename the old CementLab.exe file to “Old.exe” and copy the new file into the
proper folder using Windows Explorer, which is accessible from the start menu or
My Computer icon. The memory stick will generally be the D: drive. Should the
new CementLab.exe program not work properly, simply delete it and restore
Old.exe to the original. However, we recommend you only upgrade your system
with the expressed permission of a Fann engineer.
6.6 Using the USB Port and the Printer
The instrument is equipped with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port on the front
panel that allows the use of a USB memory stick for mobile storage. The memory
stick is a flash disk that can be connected to the USB port on the instrument control
box and used as an external hard drive. Simply insert the memory stick into the
USB port and the memory stick will become the D: drive. Software upgrades may
be installed using the memory stick and tests may be archived to the memory stick
and transferred to a PC for permanent storage. A color inkjet printer is pre-installed
at the factory and is shipped with a new instrument. The printer is a useful tool for
providing immediate printed results directly from the instrument. A 115/230V
power adapter and a USB data cable are provided to connect the printer. The printer
power adapter must be connected to the back of the instrument to prevent
instrument malfunction. See Installation section in section 4. The printers use
8.5x11” paper.
