TRANSFERRING THE PROJECT
With all commands tested, the project can now be transferred to the SPLCD.
NOTE:
Before continuing, make sure the
PC
is properly connected to the
SPLCD
by running a
Base Unit/ Who

project will include advanced configuration you may also transfer the project at this time for a System Test
before getting into more complex system features. To transfer the project to the SPLCD:

Transfer Project
or click the
Transfer Project Icon
(

A
File Transfer Dialog Window
should appear on the
PC
and start showing progress of the transfer
process. During this time, the
SPLCD Display
will turn
white
with an activity wheel in the middle of the
display to show activity.

When the transfer is complete the message:
Transfer Succeeded
will appear in the
File Transfer Dialog
Window.
