4.7. Handling Data Files
The ValProbe RT software permits synchronizing data across several consoles. The
functionality is also used to backup, restore, and archive files. The synchronization requires a
location for commonly used data. This can be any folder in the operating system that can be
accessed for read/write operations, like a shared folder in the network, an external USB
device, or a folder on the Kaye console itself. Please contact your system administrator for
setting up a file location.
The sync functions can be used for a simple backup but also to merge the data of several
console’s data sets following some rules for merging:
Preferences and policies are not synchronized.
If two items with the same name exist, the item is updated with the latest version (depending
on the modified date) for users and assets. If two items have the same name but different
dates (reports, study files), both are retained.
Sync operations are started from the File Management tile on the Main screen. When starting
a sync operation, the software asks for the sync folder location.
• Sync Out
The Sync out function is used to copy the data content of the console to another file
location. If the content of one console is copied to a dedicated folder, it serves as a
backup function.
If the data of two or more consoles synchronizes to the same folder, the data is merged
together to build up a pool of shared data for a work group.
You can select data to be copied. If an asset is selected, the asset with all the
information (setups, study files, reports, documents) is copied. It is possible to select
only one or a few assets to transfer these from one console to another, but also
possible to make a complete transfer with user, audit, equipment, templates, and asset
data, depending on the setup.
