strategy. If you want only the strategy saved, delete configuration and firmware files from the
card.
1. In PAC Control Configure mode, choose File→Strategy Options. Click the Download
tab.
2. If you want to set the strategy to autorun, check the box Set autorun flag after
download.
Autorun works if you insert the card and then turn on the controller; it has no effect if
you insert the card when the controller is already turned on. (If the controller is already
turned on, the new strategy follows the status of the existing strategy: if the existing
strategy was running when the card was inserted, the new strategy will run; otherwise,
it will not.)
If you use background downloading, the controller will switch to the new strategy
when the card is inserted.
3. Click OK.
4. Choose one of the following:
a. If you're using Secure Strategy Distribution, follow steps in form #1762, the PAC
Terminal SSD Technical Note, to create a download file with the file extension .ssd.
b. Otherwise, compile the strategy as a Control Engine Download file (.cdf ) by
right-clicking the name of the control engine in the Strategy Tree and choosing
Compile Control Engine Download File from the pop-up menu.
The file is created in the same folder as the strategy, with a .cdf extension and a
filename consisting of the strategy's name and the control engine's name (for
example, MyStrategy.MyEngine.cdf ).
5. Rename the .cdf or .ssd strategy file to fit the 8 dot 3 filename format for the microSD
card (see "Card Type and Format" on page
IMPORTANT: You must retain the correct file extension (.cdf or .ssd).
6. Create a directory on the card in the root and name it:
