What’s the process for cloning Rigel 288+/62353+ data?

This guide will take you through the steps required to Clone Rigel 288+/62353+ data. This feature can be used to transfer, store and copy the current Test Sequences and Codes to/from a PC and to configure a number of Rigel 288+/62353+ units with identical Test Sequences. However, it will not transfer test results only sequences and the overall setup of the Rigel 288+/62353+. Due to the amount of data transferred, the Clone download takes longer than the Configuration Data transfer.

Equipment required

- PC/Laptop with either Bluetooth connectivity (288+ only) or RS 232

- DataTransfer.exe program for file transfer (download from Rigelmedical.com)
