Saving a Snapshot to Disk<br />

If you wish to save a file that you’ve opened, click the Save Snapshot icon on the toolbar (Figure VIIB-30).<br />

You then have the option of saving the file to the terminal’s hard drive, to a floppy disk, or to the server.<br />

NOTICE<br />

When inserting a floppy disk into the PC, it is re<strong>com</strong>mended to run a virus check on the disk. This will<br />

prevent <strong>com</strong>puter viruses from getting onto the PC and possibly corrupting data. Windows software<br />

includes a virus-checking utility located in the StartProgramsAccessoriesSystem Tools folder.<br />

When saving a snapshot, the program automatically identifies the file by vehicle description.<br />

This information is not always enough to describe the snapshot. To help identify the snapshot, type in<br />

descriptive information about the snapshot when saving it (Figure VIIB-31). This can include vehicle<br />

conditions, DTCs, symptoms, repair order, etc. The next time a file is opened, this information will aid<br />

in locating the correct file.<br />
