4. Use the Options checkboxes in the Send to Panel or Receive From Panel dialog to enable/
disable the following transfer options:
If you are simply sending a panel file to a panel, you don't need to use the Full Clean
option, since any existing panel files on the target panel will be wiped out anyway.
The Full Clean option adds considerable time to the transfer, since it involves sending
many more files, and is not necessary in most cases.
5. Click Send or Receive to begin the transfer.

Panel File Transfers via Modem

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 modem communication configuration, select it from the drop-
down list.
Otherwise, create and save a modem 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 Modem from the Transport drop-down list.
c. Configure the selected modem connection (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Flow
Control and Phone Number).

Smart transfer (updated panel files only): Select to utilize the Smart Transfer feature,
which reduces the transfer time by only replacing those panel files that have been updated
(relative to the files already loaded in the panel). Any bitmaps, sound files and fonts that
all already resident on the target panel, or in your panel file on your PC (for uploads) are
not included in the transfer.
Normal transfer (all panel files): This option sends all panel files.
Full clean transfer (all panel & system graphic files): Select this option to
automatically wipe out any existing project files resident in the target panel before
loading the new panel file.
Open received panel (uploads only): Select this option to automatically open the panel
file once it is received.
Clear from status queue when complete: This option (enabled by default) clears each
transfer from the Transfer Status Window when complete.
