Before you can convert a Quantum spec and data file into a Quanvert database, there are several tasks you might need to carry out first. These include checking the Quantum program to ensure that it will create the required information in the appropriate places, and setting up subdirectories if variables are not to be stored in the main project directory.

“Packed” Quanvert projects (.pkd files) can also be read by programs such as UNICOM Intelligence Survey Reporter.
