Clone
(Must be exact same model and firmware)
Cloning allows you to program a generator at your desk using
Quantum Data's VGM software and then easily and quickly
transferring the information to other generators of the same
model. You transfer (clone) the entire block of battery backed
user memory (including video formats, custom test images and test sequences)
from one generator to another using a suitable PC memory card.
A Type 1,
Battery Backed RAM PC card with at least 2 MB of storage is required. Flash
or compact type memory cards will not work for cloning.
You can use the Archiver function in our VGM software application to transfer
entire blocks of user data from a generator to disk files and then upload the
blocks of data to other models having similar firmware versions. The Archiver
function also supports converting data blocks created with older firmware to be
compatible to be uploaded to models with newer firmware. The VGM software
also supports saving individual video formats, custom test images and test
sequences to disk and then individually uploading them to other models with
most other firmware versions.
