If planning an EPC exchange without a Guru Server, it may be helpful to transfer all the latest Guru objects or just the latest created by and "owned by" that specific Guru ID. Without a Guru Server, Guru Browser application is used to select and export the objects from the current Cassini EPC to a USB drive and import the .GZP to the replacement Cassini EPC. Perform the steps below before removing the original EPC. Do not move the drive to a new EPC because it contains unique calibration data for the RIFL master and may cause the tester startup process to fail. Please contact [email protected] for specific instructions for migrating that information or calibrating the RIFL Master. See also Transfer EPC Guru and Applications Directories without Guru Server for steps that use the command line.
