FAQ: How to export and import MiniScan EZ Setups.
Answer:
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 to a flash disk. 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 MiniScan EZ sensors and import into each sensor. All sensors will not have the same set of customized default setups.
To export MiniScan EZ Setups, first acquire the following two parts that ship as standard with every new MiniScan EZ sensor:
1. A21-1013-859 USB Adapter Cable, 150 mm long
2. A10-1013-423 USB 2.0 Flash Drive
If you do not have these two pieces, contact HunterLab.
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.
