Panel File Transfers via Serial Port

In TPDesign4, file transfer operations are typically routed through the Master to which the target/
source touch panels are connected. To use a Modem as the transport type:
1. Select Transfer > Send to Panel or Receive From Panel. If you are not already connected to
the Master, the Connect dialog is invoked.
If you have already established a serial communication configuration, select it from the drop-
down list.
Otherwise, create and save a serial communication configuration via the Connection Settings
dialog:
a. In the Name field, enter a name for this communication configuration. This is the name
that will appear in the drop-down list of the Connect dialog.
b. Select Serial from the Transport drop-down list.
c. Configure the selected serial (COM port) connection (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop
Bits and Flow Control).
The suggested settings are:
These settings must match those of the selected COM port.
d. Click OK to save the configuration and close the Connection Settings dialog
2. Click Connect in the Connect dialog to establish the serial connection.
3. Once communication is established, either the Send To Panel or Receive From Panel dialog is
invoked (depending on wether you selected Send to Panel or Receive From Panel from the
Transfer menu), displaying an online device tree, indicating all devices connected to the
TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program
