Verifying the PanelView 1200
Chapter 4
Terminal Operation
4-2
The remainder of this chapter discusses testing your PanelView 1200
terminal with an application file. If you or your developer have already
created an application with PanelBuilder software, use that file. If you are
installing a new terminal and are new to PanelBuilder software as well,
you may not have an application file ready to run on the PanelView 1200
terminal. If so, use the appropriate DEMO file.
Your PanelBuilder software includes demonstration files for both the touch
screen terminal (TC-DEMO) and the keypad terminal (KC-DEMO). If
your system does not yet include an application file of your own to
download and test, use the appropriate DEMO file for your terminal.
Matching Communications Settings
Before you can download or upload, the communication settings on the
PanelView 1200 terminal and in the PanelBuilder software must be the
same. The factory settings of the PanelView 1200 terminal and the
PanelBuilder software are matched. If you have not changed them, you can
download the DEMO or your other application file now.
To reset the terminal to its default settings:
1
Choose Serial Port from the Configuration Mode Menu.
2
Choose Factory Defaults.
If you need to reset the parameters in your PanelBuilder development
computer, see your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual or
the PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
Downloading the Application
Once you have matched the communication settings, you are ready to
begin downloading.
To download the application file:
1
Connect the PanelView 1200 terminal to the development computer
with the Upload/Download cable.
2
Set the PanelView 1200 terminal’s keyswitch to Configure Mode.
3
Choose Upload/Download from the terminal’s Configuration Mode
Menu.
