Installation and Configuration > Copy or Backup Settings

If you want to update the SAMLight version on your PC, please first make a backup of the system (by copying the 8 files mentioned below to a place safe).

If you want to build up a new system on another PC with the same parameters as the old one - the SAMLight version may be different - , please first install the new SAMLight version and then copy the following 9 files from the old system folder to the new one:

File	Location	Description
sc_light_settings.sam	<SCAPS>\system	settings file
sc_motion_settings.txt	<SCAPS>\system	motion settings
sc_motion_<MOTION TYPE>_settings.txt	<SCAPS>\system	motion stepper settings (depends on the motion type defined in sc_motion_settings.txt, refer to Motion_Controller)
sc_usc_card_ids.txt	<SCAPS>\system	IDs file (only when using multiple cards)
sc_usc.cfg	<SCAPS>\system	configuration file
hosts.allow	<SCAPS>\system
hosts.deny	<SCAPS>\system
sc_resource_sc_<LANGUAGE>.sam	<SCAPS>\system	Only required if the language is NOT English.
sc_resource_settings.sam	<SCAPS>\system

It is also necessary to copy the correction file - for example "cor_neutral.ucf" - from the old system to the new one. The path of the correction file is defined in sc_light_settings.sam. Please refer, depending on the scanner controller card, to chapter Hardware Settings.

Since version 4_0_5_0005 it is possible to use Help - Generate backup zip to generate a backup zip folder.
