File Manager

Data can be transferred between displays or compatible desktop software using a USB drive. It is also important to backup data to a USB drive periodically.

NOTE: Data can be transferred to Apex™ and several third-party desktop applications. Update Apex™ or third-party desktop application if there are issues with transferring data.

Display internal memory is intended to have enough capacity to store all data from a machine per season. A message will appear when 90% of memory is used. Data should be exported and deleted before memory used exceeds 90%.

Navigate to File Manager

1. Select Menu.

A - Import Data

B - Export Data

Import Data

Import data from USB drive. Use this option in the following examples:

• Import field names and guidance lines from a GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display or compatible desktop software.

NOTE: Choose GS3 2630 card format when exporting from Apex™. To use lines from other GreenStar™ displays, unload lines into Apex™ and then export in GS3 2630 card format.

Display imports all data profiles on USB drive. For example, if data from three different GS3 2630 displays is on USB drive, data from all three displays is imported.

Client, Farm, and Field Names

When necessary, to avoid conflicts, imported names are changed. For example, "Field1" is renamed "Field1(1)".

Guidance Lines

If guidance lines are in the same field and created with the same tracking method, the display handles the following conflicts.

Different Name, Same Line

• If lines are the same, name of guidance line on display is replaced by name on USB drive.

Same Name, Different Line

• If there are two different lines with the same name, line on USB drive is renamed when imported. For example, "Track1" is renamed "Track1(1)".

Export Data

Data is copied to USB drive. Use this option in the following examples:

• Transfer guidance lines to another Generation 4 CommandCenter™, GS3 2630, or compatible desktop software.
• Transfer screen shots and log files to a USB drive.

NOTE: If exporting to a USB drive that already has Generation 4 display information, data on USB drive will be overwritten.

Select guidance lines, screen shots, and log files for export. All data in each option is exported when selected.

Remove Data

Select “Delete files after transfer” check box to remove screen shot and error log files from display after they are exported to USB drive.

Setup data and guidance lines are not removed when check box is selected. Use Fields and AutoTrac™ Guidance applications to remove setup data and guidance lines.
