Importing and Exporting Data
11-5
You may export repeatedly to the same export folder (on a network drive or the same
removable media), in which case CIRRUS adds only those exams that were not already
exported and does not overwrite any data previously exported. You may interrupt an export
operation and then start it again later, and only the exams not already present in the
export database are exported.
It is possible to export data:
• To a hard-drive on the CIRRUS instrument itself. Do not use the C: drive however.
Specify a location for data export that is not the same location where the local
database is stored.
• Directly to another CIRRUS HD-OCT instrument (see "FORUM/DICOM Mode" on
page 11-5 ).
