• Insert a PCMCIA card into the card slot beside the mains switch (see
Fig. 1
,
page 11
).
• Press the
DATA BACKUP
button in the
SETTINGS
menu. A window
with the buttons
RESTORE
and
BACKUP
then appears.
• Press
RESTORE
to write the data from the card to the multistainer
memory. The multistainer then always restarts automatically, acting
just as it does when switched on (
chapter 5.1
,
page 28
).
• While the data is being written, the buttons are masked and the text
"Backup inprogress..." appears.
• Press
BACKUP
to save the current instrument data on the PCMCIA
card. After securing the data, switch off the instrument before remov-
ing the card.
5. Operation
↓
↓
Backup the data as follows:
• If you do not want to back up any data after calling up the menu, e.g. if
you called up the menu by mistake or there is no (empty) PCMCIA card
available, do NOT insert the card into the slot and press the
BACKUP
button to leave the data backup screen.
No data will be written and the text "Backup inprogress..." does not ap-
pear.
However, if you press
RESTORE
, the instrument will restart as de-
scribed above.
Important!
At least 1 MB of free memory is required on the PCMCIA card.
Otherwise, data backup cannot be completed and the writing of the data to the card will appear
to take a very long time.
In this case (if data backup lasts longer than 2 min.), remove the card from the slot, replace it
with an empty card and repeat data backup.
Caution!
When you press a button in the data backup window, all data saved on the PCMCIA card or
elsewhere in the instrument is automatically overwritten.
The data is always saved or loaded into the instrument in its entirety.
It is not possible to transfer individual files on their own (e.g. just the reagent list but nothing
else).
