Restoring and Installing Software
the logic analy
zer comes with the CD s except for any microprocessor support
packages or non-logic analyzer application software. The process of reloading
the software on the hard disk will destroy any files or programs installed on the
hard disk.
CAUTION. To avoid destroying the entire contents of your hard disk, save any files
or applications by backing them up to another media before continuing with
this proced
ure.
Backing Up Files
Before loading the Hard Disk Image software, make sure that you back up any
files and personal documents to an external storage device.
You ca n find most TLA user files using the Windows Search utility. Locate the
files in the current folder and all subfolders using file suffixes. (See Ta ble 2.)
You m ay w
ant to search for other file suffixes depending on the files installed on
your instrument.
