Data Transfer Using a CD C-1
(C) Data Transfer Using a CD
Chapter Overview
You can transfer data between Matrix instruments using the built-in CD drive. This
appendix explains the features and limitations of Matrix data transfer using CDs, and
provides instructions for data transfer.
Compatible Media Formats
The Matrix instrument can use the following types of CDs to transfer data:
• CD-R – writable CD
• CD-R/W – rewriteable CD
Note: DVDs cannot be used. They will report an error.
Note: The CDs do not need be formatted—blank disks will be formatted upon first use.
Note: The CDs can be used multiple times until the disk is full—each additional export
data is written to the disk and is available for import.
Note: CD-R/W disks cannot be erased on the Matrix instrument. Use a PC computer to
erase all data on a CD-R/W disk.
Compatible Data Transfer Functions
Optical disks can be used for all export and import functions.
Export and Import
Note: Most CD-R disks are limited to about 48 separate writes. It is also a good idea to
alternate between two CD-R media with each export in case a problem develops with
one of the media.
You can copy the Matrix database to a CD for transfer to another Matrix instrument. Install
the CD into the Matrix CD drive.
Note: On a PC, it may be possible to view and analyze Matrix data using third party
software. Beyond the instructions here, Carl Zeiss Meditec does not support the import of
Matrix data to a PC; neither do we specify third party software you can use on a PC to view
and analyze Matrix data, nor support its use.
CAUTION: We do not recommend that you use optical disks (CDs) for
long-term data storage or backup. Use should be limited to data transfer
between systems. Take care to protect these media from damage. We
recommend you use hard plastic cases when transporting and shipping
these media. Optical disks are very susceptible to scratches that could
render them unreadable.
