Choose the folder where the PC Mimic Diagram user’s data will be stored. This folder will be used for
switching schedules, reports, screen dumps and other similar user-created documents. There are
three possible locations for this folder:
1. The folder may be in the shared area on the file server, thus allowing the files to be accessible
to all users.
2. The folder may be in a location on the Client PC that is common to all users of that Client PC.
3. The folder may be in the ‘\My Documents\My PCMD’ folder, in which case the files will be
stored separately for each user that logs on to the Windows software on that Client PC.
The default is option 3, and will be used if a specific folder is not selected (option 3 is shown in the
example below).
The default option (blank) would normally be used.
