File Wizard
File Wizard
The File Wizard is a feature that guides the user through a quick and easy
setup of Database and Dataset locations for file transfers. The File Wizard
helps to eliminate any confusion for flaw detector users caused by the file
structure of GageView Pro.

File Wizard first creates a Database for the EPOCH instrument being
used, then helps the operator select the appropriate type of files to be
stored within that database by creating Dataset(s) based on user input.
Once completed, GageView Pro can immediately accept files from the
instrument!
