Exporting a Job
You can export jobs from the Configurator, and send them to other technicians or use them in
other applications. The job file contains all the job information, including CPUs, devices, and
correlations. You can export jobs in a number of formats. The two most commonly used
formats are:
•
Database files (*.mdb)
. This format is used by other technicians. If you export a job in
this format, another technician can import it into the Configurator on another computer.
•
OpenGN Phase II (*.xml)
. This format is used by OpenGN.
