Page 203 These features allow the circuit designers to create a configuration package file (PAC file) for a specific GCP unit. The PAC file can be uploaded to the GCP5000 using a USB drive connected to the display. Loading the PAC file is an efficient method of programming office design into a field GCP5000 unit, as it minimizes the field programming steps and eliminates field errors in transferring programming from plans to the unit.

Corrupted data would display a different CRC value. The GCP5000 takes the CRC of all configuration data and derives a Configuration Check Number (CCN) from that. Since there are values that are set in the field, the software derives an Office Configuration Check Number (OCCN), which is the 32- bit CRC of the configuration data, excluding items that are protected by the Field Password.
