Panel Downloads and Firmware Updates

The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 devices support a USB driver for panel downloads and firmware
updates. This means that the devices connect to a host computer for updates through their Mini USB
ports (FIG. 22). All touch panel setup is done through NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4.
