These instructions are for moving the VCATracer settings and traces to another PC.
Saving the Settings, Configuration and Traces.
On the PC, navigate to the “My Documents” folder. In this folder, there is a folder called Solenzara. Copy this folder to a USB memory stick or another location that can be accessed from the new PC.
Restoring the Settings, Configuration and Traces.
On the new PC, install VCATracer via the download from Solenzara. This will create a Solenzara folder in “My Documents”.
Close down VCATracer.
Copy the saved Solenzara folder from the saved location into the “My Documents” folder on the new PC. This will overwrite some of the recently installed contents. This is OK.
Checking the configuration.
Restart the VCATracer software and confirm that the traces are now available. If the tracer is connected via serial then the port number that is being used on the new PC needs to be established and the new port number entered into the VCATracer software. If USB drivers are being used then these need to be installed on the PC.
Multiple Users.
Please note, if there are multiple users configured on the old PC then the Solenzara folder may be in “Public Documents”. If this is the case then amend the instructions above accordingly.
