This section explains how to execute a conversion. If you select Update Installation to carry out the installation of a new version, there is no need to manually start up the Converter.

(1) Startup of the converter

Activate the Converter 'HmConvert.exe' in Explorer or the command prompt. The Converter is stored in the Installation Folder of the new version of HULFT Manager. When you start up the Converter, the following dialog box appears:

If you select an option for Original Version that does not match the current version, the information may not be converted properly.

For Original Installation Folder, specify the path to the folder where the original HULFT Manager is installed. Enter the path directly in the input field or click Browse to choose a target folder.

(3) Execution of conversion

Confirm that the settings are correct on the screen first and then click Start Conversion. A dialog box that asks whether to start the conversion appears. Click Yes to execute the conversion.

When the conversion is finished, a completion message is displayed.

(4) Confirmation of the conversion result

Start up HULFT8 Manager and confirm that the management information registered in the original version is taken over successfully.

If the folder does not exist in the original version

If the folder does not exist in the original version, a folder named 'NewFolder' is created.
