Sep, 8 2020 – Critical update
In Daybook Analysis, you will not be able to reload your results through the CSV result files. To reload your results, you will need to reprocess all your images and save the results. In Daybook Data Manager, you will need to delete all the Quality Points, reprocess all your images within Daybook Analysis and save the results in Daybook Data Manager. The good news is that you can keep your already-created systems and acquisition profiles within Daybook Data Manager. If you have processed a lot of analyses before and need support, please send us an email at customer@argolight.com and we will help you to update your database.
