“Turning the DNA Engine Tetrad 2 Cycler On” section in Chapter 4), several options
are available for transferring program files. Options

and

can be used to transfer all program files in all folders on one DNA Engine Tetrad 2
cycler to another DNA Engine Tetrad 2 cycler.

cyclers via their RS-232 ports.
