How to export and import MiniScan EZ Setups Follow

Why Export and Import Setups?

• The MiniScan EZ ships with a default set of product setups. However, clients usually modify the default setups to match their own particular products. These changes include renaming the setups or changing color scales, illuminants, observers. Once you get the setups customized the way you want them, it is a good practice to back them up. If someone should accidentally re-set the setups to the default set, you can import the backup into the MiniScan EZ.
• If you have multiple MiniScan EZ sensors that you want to have the same set of setups, you create them on the first MiniScan EZ, then export all setups to the flash disk. Then take the flash disk to each of the other MiniScab EZ sensors and import into each sensor. All sensors will have the same set of customized default setups.

There are two ways to do export/import product setup: export/import through MiniScan EZ Utility software in a PC, or export/import with a flash drive. The first method is more reliable and recommended. 

1. Export/Import through MiniScan EZ Utility Software in a PC: 

Required Parts: USB adapter A21-1014-375

• Install this MSEZ utility in a PC.
• Use USB adapter A21-1014-375 to connect MiniScan EZ to the PC.
• Open MiniScan EZ Utility. Go to Sensor and click ‘Archive Product Setups’. Name the file and save it into the PC
• Connect one MSEZ  (can be same or different) to the PC. Open Utility software, go to Sensor and click ‘Restore Product Setups’, browse the saved file and do the import.

2. Export/Import with a flash drive

Steps to export and import product setups:

• Attach the USB adapter cable to the USB connector on the side of the instrument. Then, attach the USB Flash Drive to the standard USB connector of the adapter cable.
• From the MiniScan EZ MAIN MENU, select SETUP MAINTENANCE > PRINT ALL SETUPS. This will write all MiniScan EZ product setups, including any read or manually entered standards to a file called MSEZXXXX.stp on the flash drive.
• To re-import the setups into the same MiniScan EZ, attach the cable adapter and flash disk. Go to the MiniScan EZ MAIN MENU and select any item. Right Arrow (yes, right arrow - this is a hidden key) which will open the flash disk.  IMPORT ALL SETUPS to bring all setups in the MSEZXXXX.stp file into the MiniScan replacing whatever is there. If import to the different MiniScan EZ, the MSEZXXXX.stp file need to be renamed based on the MSEZ serial number, and then do the import.
