appropriate folder, select “All files” or “FlowTracker file” in the drop-down menu on the
lower right, select the appropriate .ft file to be opened from the list populated, and click
the
Open button.

and are located in the “FlowTracker2 Example Data” folder on the USB drive.

During a measurement, the FlowTracker2 will save BeamCheck information within the .ft
