Restoring a Navigator Session

PV-WAVE Foundation > VDA Tools > Navigator > Restoring a Navigator Session

Restoring a session means opening a file that was created with the File=>Save Session command.

The restored session will be identical to the saved one—the VDA Tools are restored with the data, graphical elements, and setups that were in effect when the session was saved.

note

Do not try to restore a saved Navigator Configuration File with the Restore Session dialog. This results in an error similar to:

% Identifiers can only be added or deleted at the main level: NAV_CONFIG.

% TMRESTORETOOLS: /depot/devo/wavecl/manuel/vdatools/navigator1.sav: Bad VDA Tool Restore File.

Use the Restore Configuration dialog.

To restore a Navigator session, do the following:

1. Select File=>Restore Session. The Restore Session dialog box appears.

2. In the Restore Session dialog box, enter a name for the save file (the file containing the saved session information), or use the Browse button to specify the file. By default, session save files have a .sav extension. The Browse button brings up a file selection tool that you can use to specify the directory and filename for the save file.

note	You can restore the same session more than once during a Navigator session. The VDA Tools from multiple restored sessions are completely independent of one another, even though they look the same and may display the same data.
