When you run a Heat Penetration or Temperature Distribution test, CALSoft saves the data file on your computer. HP files have the file extension .chp and TD files have the file extension .ctd. To backup and/or move this database to another computer, follow these steps:
- HP and TD files are stored by default in your CALSoft 6 "Data" directory/folder. To access that directory, in Windows File Explorer, go to the Documents folder on your computer (C:\Users\[user name]\Documents) and then go to the folder "CALSoft6." Next, open the "Data" folder.
** When you set up CALSoft, you may have chosen to store your data files in a different location on your computer. - Look for the HP and TD files in that folder and backup/transfer it to the new computer.
- When moving these files to your new computer, consider moving them into the same folder that you used to store your data on your old computer.
