Saving and Loading Settings
While you are working with DIAdem
®
, you will have to modify the standard settings according to your
requirements. The program settings are stored in the Desktop file (desktop.ddd). When you leave
DIAdem
® , modifications are registered and you are asked if you want to save them. You should save your
personal settings in your own Desktop file , so you don’t lose them.
Save Desktop under
New Name
First close all the DIAdem ® devices with "Close all " in the "Window" menu. Don’t worry: the contents of
the window are retained, even if they have not yet been saved. Then click to the diskette symbol in the
command line. Now you can save your settings in a new Desktop file.
In order for them to take effect, DIAdem
®
is now automatically shut down. You will now be asked whether
the files are to be saved and DIAdem ® will start again with your settings.
Load Desktop file
DIAdem ® starts with the Desktop file desktop.ddd. If you are working on various projects, which require
varying settings in DIAdem ® , they can be saved in various Desktop files. The associated Desktop file is
then to be loaded with each project. Don’t be startled when DIAdem
®
is restarted. This is necessary in order
for the settings in the newly-loaded Desktop file to take effect.
