If an Archive of a Project is to be copied onto another computer, in order for changes to be made to it and then to be subsequently Restored back onto the original computer, then CAUTION must be observed to avoid losing logged data:

 

There are a number of checks that are performed by SpecView before the Restore is allowed, such as:

- If the log files have the same name then they cannot have different sizes or date/times

- The variables are checked to make sure that there are no data type differences e.g. float and text for the same unique ID would be rejected

- Instrument types are the same e.g. not allowed to overwrite a MM8TC with a MM4RO, etc.

- A Restore is only allowed to a project if there is at least one defined instrument of the same type, for example, at least one MM8TC

 

 

 

If you get this error then it means that the Archive file contains Log files which conflict with the ones in the existing project. To resolve this Restore the project without the Include log files checked. Or alternatively Restore specifying a new name for the project.
