LabChart buffer files are temporary files that store information about data and settings in case the computer crashes.
After a crash, these files are automatically reloaded (when re-opening LabChart) to restore previously lost data.
LabChart for Windows creates a temporary file located at the root of the C: drive called ADIxx.tmp. This is the 'data stream'.
LabChart creates a second temp file, located in:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Temp\ADILCDiskBuffers
called ADIBAK File (.adibak). This is the mapping stream.
To recover data from a crash, both files are needed.
Note: We cannot assist in file recovery using earlier versions of LabChart. The earliest version we can attempt to recover data is v8.1.9 or later.
