modules, then the SIMPL+ check box will also be enabled. Select one or both check
boxes and then click Send Program to begin the transfer.
With X Series processors, click Make Permanent to load the program to permanent
memory (flash PROM). This will overwrite the previous contents of flash PROM.
(The 2 Series does not require the Make Permanent command.)
With 2-Series processors, choose where the program will be sent: Internal Flash or
Compact Flash. With the Compact Flash option, if the Viewport does not detect a
Compact Flash card, you will be prompted to insert a card and retry the upload
procedure. When the CF card is inserted, the Viewport will check for the presence of
the \SIMPL and \SPLUS directories. If those directories are not present they will
automatically be created. If they are present, their contents will be overwritten. The
program is then sent to Compact Flash and a Program Reset is issued to start the new
program.
The 2-Series processor also provides the option to retrieve the current program from
internal or Compact Flash memory before overwriting it. Simply select the Retrieve
Current Program check box and specify the filename and directory.
When a program is uploaded, that program's filename is added to the New Program
drop-down list. This makes it convenient to reload frequently used programs, as they
can be selected from the list without need to browse to a directory. To delete the list
click Clear History.
Click Check Program to display the header information of the program that is
currently loaded in internal or Compact Flash memory.
Send Touchpanel
The Send Touchpanel command uploads a compiled VT Pro-e project to a specified
touchpanel. First select the Net ID of the touchpanel and click OK. Alternatively,
click Send Direct to Wired Touchpanel if the touchpanel is connected directly to a
COM port on the PC.
For non-TPS panels, browse to the project directory containing the .hex file to be
uploaded, select the file and click Open to begin the transfer.
For TPS panels, browse to the directory containing the .vtz file to be uploaded and
click Open. This will display the full file path of the project, as well as the date the
project was compiled.
Each time a project is selected using the Browse command, that project is added to
the File Name drop-down list. This makes it convenient to recall projects without
need to browse to a directory. To delete the list click Clear History.
Next, choose the pages to send to the TPS panel. The choices are as follows:
All Files in Project: sends the entire project.
Only Changed Files: sends only the files that are different from those that are
currently stored in the panel. Note that if any pages in the panel are not present in the
project, those pages will be deleted from the panel.
Additional choices include Do not send graphic files and Do not send sound files.
These are often very large files that take a long time to load.
