File Operations

Chapter 6

6-15

To use an application with previous release terminal firmware, you will

have to edit the application to remove the newer objects and features, or

upgrade the terminal’s firmware.

For more information on version compatibility see Chapter 2, Installing

PanelBuilder.

When Application Size is chosen from the Select File menu within the

Download to PanelView (RS-232) menu, the PanelBuilder software

calculates the space the application file would occupy in a PanelView

terminal. This is not the same as the disk space used by the application

file in the development computer.

Uploading from PanelView

To upload is to transfer a copy of an application file from a PanelView

terminal to the development computer, so the file can be edited or saved on

disk. The uploaded application file can then be modified and downloaded

back to the PanelView terminal.

ATTENTION: If you upload an application file from a

PanelView terminal, the file will contain the current input states

or values in the terminal—not necessarily the terminal’s presets

for those inputs. If you want the file to contain the presets,

choose Preset Operations from the Configuration Mode menu,

and press the Load Presets button before uploading. This also

resets the terminal’s retentive input functions.

To upload:

1. Set the PanelView terminal to Configuration Mode and choose

Upload / Download from the terminal’s Configuration Mode menu.

2. On the development computer, choose Upload from PanelView

(RS-232) from the Transfer menu.

3. Choose Upload File as and specify a filename.

If a filename is not specified, the existing filename of the terminal’s

application file is used. If the filename exists within the upload

directory, you are asked if the file should be overwritten.

4. Respond Yes when prompted to start uploading to the development

computer. Screen messages inform you as the upload proceeds.
