Storing Data
Back Up the Hard Drive
To safeguard against the loss of data due to hard drive failure, periodically back
up all files in the Packard folder. The Packard folder is automatically created when
the QuantaSmart software is installed. This folder contains the TriCarb folder,
which contains several sub-folders for the organization of various program and
data files.
You can back up the contents of the hard drive using the CD writer that is
installed in the system computer. Note: you can only use the CD writer when the
instrument is not acquiring data.
Folder Contents
