    There is an issue with the XYZ gains and older versions of the software.
    If you go to version 12 or above, then your system will be using the new gain system. Once you go to the new gains, your instrument should not use versions < 101010.

    If you want to continue using 101010, you need to make sure it is >= 101010+4706
    http://downloads.asylumresearch.com/...01010+4706.zip

    If you want to continue using 111111, you need to make sure it is > 1126
    http://downloads.asylumresearch.com/...11111+3405.zip


    So for example, you want to try out version 14 to see what GetStarted has, you should go through your old versions of the software. Remove anything 090909 or older. and update 101010, 111111, and 120804 to the latest versions BEFORE installing 13 or 14. I know this is counter intuitive, to burn your old software before you try the new software, but it is the safest path.

    There are typically two main reasons to make a copy of the Igor Pro / AR Software, and they are slightly different.

    1. You want to try out some new MFP3D code. There is a new feature that is in the unstable code that you want to try out, but it is the new code. There are going to be bugs, and so you want to be able to go back quickly, and you don't want other people in the lab

    Force plots to ascii format.
    In versions 16.02.180 and above there is a function you can run from the command line (Ctrl + J to bring forward) to export ARDFs as ascii

    Code:
    Function AsciiExportARDF(FMapName)
    String FMapName
    FMapName is the name of the file, without the extension ex: "Image0010"

    In the 101010 software there is a function you can run from the command line (Ctrl + J to bring forward) to export the listed force plots as ascii.
    Code:
    Code:
         
Function AsciiExportForce(FPMask,DataFolderMask,PName,[SaveForce])
    String FPMask, DataFolderMask,
