DATABASE UTILITIES
Pro42 backup and restore functions should
be periodically performed in case a malfunc-
tion should occur with the Alignment System.
These periodic backups allow the customer/
technician to restore all data from that back-
up date when the Alignment System is once
again functional. When a backup on a Pro42
aligner is performed using the "database util-
ity" function, this information should only be
restored on the aligner that the backup came
from.
NOTE: THE BACKUP DATA CONTAINS CALI-
BRATION DATA AND CUSTOMER DATA.
RESTORING DATA TO A DIFFERENT
ALIGNMENT SYSTEM WILL OVER WRITE
ALL OF IT'S CALIBRATION DATA AND
CAUSE INCORRECT ALIGNMENT AN-
GLES ON THE ALIGNER THE DATA WAS
RESTORED TOO.
From the main menu select the "Database
Utilities" button from the Main Menu Carou-
sel bar.
Select whether to backup to a thumb drive or
to restore data from that drive.
Also available is the ability to delete the cus-
tomer database. Do not select this unless
it is desired to permanently lose all the cus-
tomer data. This feature might be used when
an aligner is transferred to a new owner or
location.
