[time-nuts] Re: Query about TSC5120A usage protocols

[Tom Knox]

Hi All;
I have owned a number of 5120A and 5125A analyzers and always backed up the CF. The route I chose was to purchase a U-Reach CF-121 duplicator for around $200. One of the best investments I have made.
Cheers;

Hi Bill,
Can you share what software you use to back up the CF card?
I unsuccessfully tried different ones.
But after replacing the copy the machine does not boot.
Thanks,
Jorge.
