Managing the File System 

 
At the start of EchoMRI™ software the default output folder (used for storage of measured data) is presented 
(3a in Figure 3.1).  We recommend to avoid using the default output folder and create other folders at locations 
convenient for you (see also suggestions on directory tree below). 
 
To select another existing or to create a new output folder, click “Output Folder 

 Browse / New” (3b in 

Figure 3.1). A dialog pops up with a directory tree in the lower, larger window and a line to type in a path in the 
upper, smaller window. Either of the upper and lower windows can be used to select destination folder (3c in 
Figure 3.2). 
 
One method to create a new output folder is to select an existing parent folder from the tree in the lower 
window and then type a backslash character (\) followed by a new folder name into the upper window of the 
dialog.  
Another method is to modify the name of an existing folder in the upper window and then a new folder will be 
created on the same tree level as the one from which you started. 
After you press OK the dialog will ask for confirmation that the new folder should indeed be created. 
 
Note that even though a new folder can be created in this way anywhere accessible, the software will refuse to 
scan in a folder which is a sub- folder of any folder in which scans have been previously performed.
