Exporting (Backing Up) Libraries

Vision has built-in an export libraries function. A library is compressed before saving, so it occupies
much less space than original data. There are two ways in which a library can be exported:

A library can be exported together with all linked projects (i.e., projects from which spectra

are used in the library development). A library exported this way can be further developed
when it is imported to another computer. In particular, new products can be added, or library
methods modified.

A library can also be exported without the linked projects. A library exported this way cannot

be further developed or modified when imported to another computer. It has to be used in
Routine Analysis as is.

Libraries can be exported to a hard disk, network drive, zip drive, or to a floppy drive. When

exporting to a floppy drive, Vision will ask you to insert new diskettes in the drive as
necessary. Exporting libraries provides an easy way to transfer data and developed qualitative
methods between computers, as well as backing up the models.

A library is exported together with all qualitative methods (clustering, identification, and

qualifications methods) developed for the library.

In order to export a library follow these steps:

Make sure you are in the Data Acquisition mode.
