Protect Clarity from unexpected shutdowns

Unexpected computer shutdowns, such as those caused by Windows updates, power outages, or forced restarts, can interrupt ongoing measurements and potentially corrupt critical files that store station settings.

To minimize the risk of loss of settings or its corruption:

  • Regularly back up important files stated below.
  • Schedule Windows updates during off-hours when Clarity is not running to prevent forced restart.
  • Ensure reliable power through a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

List of recommended files for back up:

  • Clarity.cfg + any other configuration file present in Cfg directory.
  • Clarity.dsk + any other desktop file present in Cfg directory.
  • Clarity.psw in Cfg directory.
  • optional: method(s) validated and used for measurement
