The software itself can be customized to a degree by the removal of parameters in either the
main view or the printed parameters (conditionally as well). The software can also be
customized by modifying or adding display ranges for Count, Dose, and Rate modes per

There is also a Plateau Wizard to help with the calibration of the high voltage, a Detector
Calibration Wizard to help determine the Calibration Constant, Dead Time, and Dead Time
Second Order parameters, as well as a Wizard to calculate a Chi Squared consistency value
for counts.

2.3. HOW TO TRANSFER CUSTOM RULES/SETTINGS TO DIFFERENT COMPUTERS 13
Cancel
Clicking this closes the window without updating the user name and password.
2.3 How to transfer custom Rules/Settings to different
computers
In the event that you want to transfer the custom Rules/Settings to a different computer
(such as ensuring everyone has the same custom rules), you will have to copy the files over
manually.
The Folder to look for is in C:\ProgramData\Ludlum Measurements, Inc\Lumic_2_0.
Please note that ProgramData is typically hidden by default by Windows, thus you will need
to ensure that "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" is selected to be able to see it.
In this folder should be a Folder with the name of the Lumic User you wish to copy. If there
is no folder by that name, then there has never been custom Rules/Settings for that Lumic
User, though an empty folder may exist if custom Rules/Settings had once been made, and
then removed.
Simply copy this folder over to the new computer in the same location
C:\ProgramData\Ludlum Measurements, Inc\Lumic_2_0.
Please note that just making this folder on a new computer will not create a new Lumic User
for that computer. You will still need to create that User (see "How to add a new Log in with
default settings" in Section 2.1).
How to show hidden Folders in Windows
1. Open the Windows File Explorer.
2. In the View Menu, select the Options button/icon.
3. In the Folder Options window, go to the View tab.
4. In the Advanced settings group, select the option Show hidden files, folders, and
drives.
5. Click Ok.
How to transfer custom Rules/Settings to a different computer
1. Open the Windows File Explorer.
2. Go to C: drive.
3. Open the ProgramData folder.
