The NOAH 3 Data Collector Tool is designed to move patient data and settings from NOAH 3.5.2, NOAH 3.6.1 and NOAH 3.7 to a Noah 4 installation on another computer.
The tool is run on the OLD NOAH 3 computer and the file it creates is moved and migrated to Noah 4 on the new computer.
Warning: Importing a NOAH 3 migration file into Noah 4 will overwrite all data in the Noah 4 database. You should, therefore, only import a NOAH 3 migration file into a new or empty Noah 4 database.
