V.4.4 Backup and Import
The DV3T Rheometer provides several options relating to storage of Results, Tests and User Settings.
Backup and Import menu options relate to creating back up files, updating instrument software,
and updating language files.
Backup: Create a backup file from the DV3T internal memory including: Settings, User Profiles,
Results, and Tests. This backup file is saved to a USB Flash Drive and can be uploaded (Restore)
to any DV3T Rheometer.
Choose the location within a USB Flash Drive where the Backup file is to be saved. A new folder
can be created by using the New Folder button. Press the Backup button to create the Backup file.
Restore: Upload a previously saved Backup file. The information from the Backup file includes:
Settings, User Profiles, Results, and Tests. Existing User profiles will not be overwritten. User
profiles from the Backup file will be added to the user profiles that already exist on the DV3T.
Locate the Backup file on the attached USB Flash Drive. Press the Restore button to upload the
Backup file.
Automatic Backup: Create Backup files according to a schedule. The frequency is set to Daily,
Weekly or Monthly increments. The Path must be specified and requires the use of a USB Flash
Drive. Check the Allow Automatic Backup check box to initiate this feature. The current Backup
