Data File and Script Locations
Gamry Software uses several proprietary file types for acquisition and analysis purposes. This list will describe what each type is used for and provide the default location for the files in the supported operating systems.
Note: By default, the Application Data\Program Data folder is a hidden folder. If you try to navigate to it from C:\, it may not appear in the folder- tree! To make it visible, you must change a setting in the Control Panel. Go to: Start - Control Panel - Appearance and Themes - Folder Options. Select the View tab. Under Files and Folders - Hidden Files and Folders, click the radio button "Show hidden files and folders." The Application Data\Program Data folder and its sub-folders will now appear in the folder-tree as you navigate through your hard drive.
