SebaDataView-3 software

5.5 System settings

In the System settings menu you can make various basic settings for use of the SDV-3

software or specify frequently recurring parameters etc.

To open the menu, first click the water drop symbol in the top left. Then, click the

Settings button in the appearing context menu.

A new window appears showing the system settings menu:

5.5.1 Managing the storage location of the measurement database

During installation of the software, a directory with the name ‘data’ is created on the

computer by default. All recorded data is saved to this directory.

In the system settings of the software, you have the option to display the current storage

location of the measurement data or set up another storage location.

To get access to the storage location management tools, you have to open the Default

tab.

To display the current storage location of the measurement data, click Open in the

Database storage location segment. The current target directory opens in an Explorer

window. (With the default setting, it is the ‘data’ directory mentioned above.) The precise

target path is displayed in the address line.

You have the option to define another storage location in place of the standard target

directory of ‘data’.

Select the Other radio button in the Database storage location segment. Then click

Search (Browse) and use the Explorer window that opens to set a new target directory.

After the next restart of the software, all newly saved measurement data will be saved in

this folder. All previously saved measurement data remains in the previous target folder.

There is no longer access to this data from SDV-3.

If you define a new storage location and want to still have access to the previously

saved measurement data, you need to first move the entire previous target directory to

the new storage location. Only after you do this should you set the new target path, as

described above, by selecting the Other checkbox and defining the new target path by

pressing the Search (Browse) button.
