We therefore do not recommend to open files created with DatLab 6 in DatLab 5.
:::* '''Compatibility with DatLab 4''': DatLab 6 is downwards compatible with DatLab 4: DatLab 6 can read all filesΒ  generated by DatLab 4. However, DatLab 6 will save these files always inΒ  the DatLab 5/6 format. Afterwards, these files will no longer be readableΒ  by DatLab 4. Therefore, we recommend doing a complete transition fromΒ  DatLab 4 to DatLab 6, upgrading all computers. However, there is no need to mass convert the old DatLab 4 files. They can stay in the DatLab 4 format and will be converted by DatLab 6 when necessary.

:::: DatLab does not write to any part of the registry nor to any directory besides the program directory and its subdirectories, the data-directory and the users temporary files folder.
== Overlay of Datlab plots from different experiments ==
:::: There are basically two ways to superimpose traces recorded in different experiments: Export of the graphics via windows metafile or export of the data to e.g. a spreadsheet program.
:::: If you export via wmf you also can manipulate the graphics but then usually the lines are broken up in different segments. This can be done in various programs like MS Word, Open Office Draw and even in MSPower Point, though this maybe is the worst program to do this. It is better to manipulate them in a proper program like OO Draw, convert it to an unchangeable picture and then import it to a presentation graphics. Anyway, when you import directly to Power point (or other programs), make sure not to import it as a "picture" but as a metafile. Also in some programs you might afterwards have to "break" it up, or accept a "conversion to a MS Draw object" or other similar linguistic inventions of the software gurus. For this option we suggest to do as much as possible directly in DatLab (setting colors, line widths, ..) using the options in "Plots"/"select plots" andΒ  "graph"/"options".
:::: The β€œhardcoreβ€œ optionΒ  is to export the data and import it into e.g. a spreadsheet program (MS Excel , OOCalc).Β  It takes longer to have a simple overlay but gives you far less problems later and its easier to make changes later. To do this you can export your dataset "Export"/"Data to Textfile" and then go from there.
