Database upgrade
The inner structure of the HyperLab databases is rarely changing with newer versions of HyperLab, and these minor changes are transparent for different HyperLab versions – that is, the HyperLab 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2009 branches are able to use the same databases.
However, from HyperLab 2009, advanced database functions are introduced – for example the P/T (peak-to-total) analysis. These new functions of HyperLab require at least the 2009.1 version database.
Several bug fixes and serious speed enhancements (e.g. significantly shorter saving times in peak evaluation module) are also incorporated in the 2005 or 2008 version of databases, so it is always advisable to upgrade at least to this format.
You are not required to create a new database in order to utilize these new functions, as HyperLab Main Module provides you with a Database Upgrade tool, which is capable of performing these changes in-place.
To upgrade your database to a newer version, please follow the steps below:
  • Start HyperLab 2014, and open the database you want to upgrade. Please note that the version of the database is displayed at the right panel.
  • Select Upgrade database task. A wizard page appears now. The upgrade infor­mation panel contains the possible upgrade steps. Click Next.
  • Please wait while the database up­grade is in progress, then click Next, and Finish on next page. When you open your database next time, it will correctly indicate the new version number.
