• Move to File/Project/Convert. The software will ask if you are sure. Answer YES. Remember
this is not reversible. Click OK
• If your project data was collected from 1100-2500nm it must be expanded to full range of
400-2500nm as all XDS instruments scan full range. Go to File/Project/Expand to expand to
full range. If the original data was collected from 400 to 2500 nm, this is not necessary.
• Go to File/Library/Convert to prepare the Library structure to accept 0.5nm data. Library
Products and their Sample Selection Results will remain intact.
• The ID and Qual methods developed for System II are automatically deleted when you do a
Library Convert. Recreate the ID and Qual methods for your Library. NOTE: When you re-
create these methods the previously used parameters - wavelength regions, math pre-
treatments, etc., will appear as User Preferences and can be used for re-developing the
models. Even if the red “Q” remains after Library Convert. The previous models cannot be
used in Routine Analysis
• Create a new Operations Method using the Reference Standardized DCM and the new
Library.
3.13.3 Transfer to another computer
When moving from a System II instrument to an XDS instrument you also want to move your data
from a previous computer (A) to a new computer (B), follow this approach:
• Follow the “same computer” steps to prepare your Calibration Equations and Libraries on
computer A
• If you only have (or care about) Calibration Equations, go to File/Backup/Backup Project.
When asked about “with linked projects and Libraries” answer NO. Do the Backup to a
network drive or separate storage device such as flash memory or CD.
• Move to the new computer (B) and Restore the Project.
• If you have only a Library, go to File Backup/Backup Library. When asked about “with linked
projects” answer YES. Do the Backup to a network drive or separate storage device such as
flash memory, or CD
• Move to the new computer (B) and Restore the Library with links.
• If you have both a Calibration Equation and a Library, go to File/Backup/Backup Project. When
asked about “linked projects and Libraries” answer YES. Do the Backup to a network drive or
separate storage device such as flash memory, or CD.
• Move to the new computer (B) and Restore the Project with Links.
3.14 Archiving in XML Format
Vision software provides a tool for data archiving in XML format supported by many Data
Management Systems, such as NuGenesis.
An archive in XML format consists of two files. The first file is the Vision backup file with extension
ZIP. The second file is called meta-data file. It contains information about contents of the archive.
Names of archives are composed of the name of the archived unit and dates and times of the first
