File Transfer Operations
205 TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Software (v2.10 or higher)
File Transfer Operations
In TPDesign4, all file transfer operations are routed through the NetLinx Master to which the target/
source touch panels are connected. You will never actually connect directly to the panels. There are two
types of file transfer operations in TPDesign4 (both accessible via the
Transfer menu):
Send To Panel : Sends your TPDesign4 project file to a specified NetLinx Master.
Receive From Panel : Receives your TPDesign4 project file from a NetLinx Master.
Connections are maintained separate from the transfer itself, so they do not need to be established/
dropped each time a transfer is performed. Use the Connect dialog to define and save one or more
connection settings.
Working With Communications Configurations
Saving and Recalling Communication Configurations
Connection information is maintained separate from the transfer itself, so it does not need to be
established/dropped each time a transfer is performed. Use the Connect dialog to define and save one or
more connection settings.
Anytime you establish a new communication connection configuration (via the New button in the
Connect dialog), the program requires you to enter a name for the configuration (in the Name field of the
Connection Settings dialog). See the Connecting to a NetLinx Master topic for details on establishing a
new connection.
The configuration you specify under that name can then be accessed via the Connection drop-down list
in the Connect dialog.
To recall a saved communication configuration , select Transfer > Connect to open the
Connect dialog, and select the desired configuration from the Connection drop-down list.
To delete a saved configuration , select a configuration (in the Connect dialog) and click the
Delete command button.
Editing the Settings on an Existing Communication Configuration
1. Select Transfer > Connect to open the Connect dialog.
2.
Select the configuration that you want to edit from the Connection drop-down list.
3.
Click the Edit button to invoke the Connection Settings dialog.
4.
Edit the communication settings for the selected configuration as needed, and click OK to save your
changes and return to the Connect dialog.
Connecting to a NetLinx Master
Typically, file transfer operations are routed through the NetLinx Master to which the panels are
connected, as opposed to connecting directly to the panels. Therefore, in order to transfer touch panel
files for use on G4-compatible panels, you will first establish communication between the PC running
TPDesign4 and the NetLinx Master to which the target panels are connected.
The Connect dialog allows you to set up communications, and save multiple connection configurations
for easy access. Select
Transfer > Connect to access this dialog. There are three possible ways to
connect to a NetLinx Master: TCP/IP , Serial or Modem :
