Backup and Restore

Backup/Restore is an unreleased app. It will be available with the Hemisphere Suite 1.7 release, scheduled for November 30, 2018.

Backup/Restore is a utility that allows you to transfer complete sets of app and calibration data to and from your module. It can be used for transferring data between multiple O_C modules, or for transferring calibration data to change the Teensy on the same O_C module, for making multiple complete sets of data available during shows, or simply preparing for disaster.

Backing Up the Module

Backup/Restore backs up the current data in the EEPROM. So if you want to take a backup of the O_C's current state, save the module's state by long-pressing the right button from the main menu.

Connect your computer or tablet to the module and enter the Backup/Restore app on your module. Turn either encoder to choose "Data" or "Calibration." Enable recording on your SysEx Librarian software, and then press the right encoder button ([BACKUP]). The size of the data dump will be about 174 bytes for Calibration, and about 2.5K for Data.

Restoring the Module

Connect your computer or tablet to the module and enter the Backup/Restore app on your module. Press the left encoder button ([RESTORE]). Backup/Restore will indicate that it is listening for SysEx data. From your SysEx Librarian software, initiate the dump. The module's screen should indicate a progress bar. When the restore is successful, the module is restarted.
