This is a normal paragraph following a header. Victrix tridentigero corripuere messibus, una rector, me se Iovis. Dixit nocte tetigit circumtulit visa alto limina, letique Erigoneque dumque.

On big screens, paragraphs and headings should not take up the full container width, but we want tables, code blocks and similar to take the full width.

Erat vera cur scelus mundo quam? Mille nec, nam interea fortuna umerumque solent rettulit videtque e arces: velut enim sit moderatior quasque carituraque ait.

Tables should have bold headings and alternating shaded rows.

If a table is too wide, it should scroll horizontally.

Code snippets like var foo = "bar"; can be shown inline.

Also, this should vertically align with this and this.

Code can also be shown in a block element.

foo := "bar";
bar := "foo";

Code can also use syntax highlighting.

func main() {
  input := `var foo = "bar";`

  lexer := lexers.Get("javascript")
  iterator, _ := lexer.Tokenise(nil, input)
  style := styles.Get("github")
  formatter := html.New(html.WithLineNumbers())

  var buff bytes.Buffer
  formatter.Format(&buff, style, iterator)

  fmt.Println(buff.String())
}

Long, single-line code blocks should not wrap. They should horizontally scroll if they are too long. This line should be long enough to demonstrate this.

Inline code inside table cells should still be distinguishable.

Small images should be shown at their actual size.

Large images should always scale down and fit in the content container.

2 - Data Backup and restore

2.1 - Creating a data backup

Required accessory

In order to perform a data backup for your device, you need a dual USB flash drive (2-in-1 USB stick) Type-C/USB 3.0 with a USB C connector and a USB A connector. Such a dual USB flash drive is delivered together with your device. You may also purchase such an USB flash drive from different vendors.

Perform data backup

1. Open the menu item Device in the main screen of your VitalControl device.

2. Invoke the submenu Data management, select the menu item Create backup and confirm with OK. You are now asked to insert an USB flash drive:

   

3. Insert the USB flash drive (C plug) into the connector at the bottom of the device.

   

4. Once the device detected insertion of the USB stick, the data backup is automatically started. Collecting, compressing and writing the backup data may take a minute or longer. When the backup is done, a success message is displayed:

   

5. The data backup is now created. You will find the created file backup.vcu in the directory backup on your USB flash drive. The backup file requires approx. 1 MB of storage space on the flash drive.

   

   Hinweis

   If a file backup.vcu already exists in the backup directory of your USB flash drive, this file will be renamed. The new name of the file is composed of the leading string backup and the date and time when the backup file was created (e.g. backup_2023-07-17_12-50-37.vcb). The newly written backup file is always named backup.vcu.

6. The created backup file can be used to restore the stored data to any VitalControl device if needed.

2.2 - Restoring a data backup

Required accessory

In order to restore a data backup to you VitalControl device, you need a dual USB flash drive (2-in-1 USB stick) Type-C/USB 3.0 with a USB C connector and a USB A connector. Such a dual USB flash drive is delivered together with your device. You may also purchase such an USB flash drive from different vendors.

On this USB flash drive, a directory backup must exist, which must held a valid data backup file backup.vcu.

Data restoration to VitalControl device

1. Open the menu item Device in the main screen of the VitalControl device to which you want to restore the data.

2. Invoke the submenu Data management, select the menu item Restore backup and confirm with OK. You are now asked to insert an USB flash drive:

   

3. Insert the USB flash drive (C plug) into the connector at the bottom of the device.

   

4. Once the device detected insertion of the USB stick, a confirmation window appears. Acknowledge this popup with ‘Yes’ to start the data restore. Decompressing and restoring the backup may take a minute or longer. When the data restore is complete, a success message is displayed:

   

5. Backup data were successfully restored to VitalControl device.

3 - Export of animal data and measurement values

3.1 - Data export to USB flash drive

Required accessory

In order to perform an export of your device data, you need a dual USB flash drive (2-in-1 USB stick) Type-C/USB 3.0 with a USB C connector and a USB A connector. Such a dual USB flash drive is delivered together with your device. You may also purchase such an USB flash drive from different vendors.

Perform data export

1. Open the menu item Device in the main screen of your VitalControl device.

2. Invoke the submenu Data management, select the menu item Export animal data (csv) and confirm with OK. You are now asked to insert an USB flash drive:

   

3. Insert the USB flash drive (C plug) into the connector at the bottom of the device.

   

4. Once the device detected insertion of the USB stick, data export is automatically started. Writing the backup data may take a few seconds. When the data export finished, a success message is displayed:

   

5. Data export is now complete. You will find the four created export files inside the directory export-csv on your USB flash drive.

   

   Notes

   • To prevent accidental overwriting of export files, the file name of each export file always includes the date and time when the file was created. Be sure to use the latest version of the export files if you have exported animal data multiple times.
   • The file size of the export files depends on the number of animals on the VitalControl and on the number of measurements performed. In general, the export files only occupy a few kB of storage space on the USB stick.

3.2 - Data export to a mass storage device of your PC using the VCSynchronizer software

3.3 - Structure and content of the exported CSV data files

General information

When exporting animal data, regardless of whether to the USB flash drive or to a local mass storage device on the PC, four export files are generated in each case:

• Animal data (animals.csv)
• Body temperature data (temperatures.csv)
• Weight data (weights.csv)
• Animal ratings (ratings.csv)

All four files are human readable CSV text files. The files are encoded in UTF-8 format, semicolons (;) are used as column separators. The individual data fields are not enclosed in quotation marks. Each row of the respective table represents an animal data set or a measurement or assessment performed on an animal.

Further processing of exported data

You can open each of these four export files in a spreadsheet program of your choice (such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc) and perform advanced analysis of the data there. As an example, the view of the table animals.csv in a spreadsheet program is shown below:

Description of data files

The following four sections describe each of the exported data files in detail:
