This applies particularly to a 2 PC setup 4 4 Data Cleanup Once a day at a specified time old files may be deleted according to the age of each file Different ages may be specified for each image type and each file type see section 5 Section 4 8 1 gives details of how to specify this Note that the age of file calculated when cleaning up refers to the time the image was taken not the time it was received by you Sometimes this can be a day later suggest e Derived JPG thumbnail DIMAT uncompressed 1 files Since they occupy a lot of space and because the original compressed N1 gz data files will still be available it s probably a good idea to tidy up these files frequently after you have finished looking at the most recent Normally there won t be many uncompressed 1 files lying around but some programs can leave them e Raw compressed N1 gz data files as received Page 6 of 25 How frequently you clean these files up is really up to you as to how long you wish to keep things However EnviHamBrowse allows you to browse images and archive those which you wish to keep which you may find useful Cleanup only occurs in the currently specified data directory If you have changed this see section 4 8 1 3 cleanup will not occur in the previous one Page 7 of 25 4 5 Status Panel As EnviHamManager is intended for continuous operation there are no controls as such only a status panel directory L EnviHa
