See the Exporting Experiments section in the BD FACSDiva Software Reference Manual. Start BD FACSDiva software and log in as administrator.Įxport the following items to ensure that your experiments, user profiles, and custom cytometer configurations in your current system will be available for import into the Windows 7 system.Įxport all experiments in the Browser to an external device. NOTE Make sure that all of the data is backed up to an external device (for example, on a network drive, on a server, or on a CD/DVD), and that the external device will be available to restore the data once the upgrade is completed. Follow these steps to prepare an acquisition workstation for the upgrade to BD applications running on Windows 7. See the BD FACSDiva Software Reference Manual and the BD Cytometer Setup and Tracking Application Guide for more details.īacking Up Your Data Customers are responsible for backing up all of their own data. All baselines, performance checks, and application settings will have to be recreated, as needed. Upgrade Considerations Because of a change in the beads for BD FACSDiva software v7.0 and v8.0.1, upgrading from BD FACSDiva software v6.x to v8.0.1 will cause a loss of existing baselines and application settings. The BD FSE will contact you in advance to confirm that this backup has been done. NOTE It is very important that you perform this backup procedure prior to the BD Field Service Engineer (FSE) arriving to perform the upgrade installation. This means that you have to back up all of the data from the existing hard drive. These applications run on the Microsoft® Windows® 7 (32-bit) operating system, and the workstation requires a new or completely reformatted hardĭrive. īD FACSDiva™ software version 8.0.1 (from v6.0 and later)īD FACSCanto™ clinical software version 3.0 (from v2.2 and later)īD FACS™ SPA software version 5.0 (from v4.0.2 and later).Overview This document is for customers who are upgrading a BD cytometer system with one of the following software applications:
