Utilities
Read Project from OIT
This utility makes it possible for OITware-200 to read an existing project file from an OIT.
To read a project from an OIT:
1. Perform the following steps from CHAPTER 1: Getting Started:
• Connect the OIT to the PC
• Place the OIT in Download/Upload Mode
2. Start OITware-200.
3. From the Transfer menu, choose Read from OIT. The OITware 200 - Read From OIT
dialog box appears.
4. Choose the Options button. The Communication Options dialog box appears.
5. In the Upload & Download group box, select the COM port option button that
corresponds to the COM port the OIT is connected to. If you are unsure, choose the
Auto Detect button.
NOTE:To use the Auto Detect feature, the OIT must be in download/upload mode and properly
connected to the PC.
6. If you want the project automatically saved after it is read from the OIT, select the
“Prompt For Save As Project?” check box. If this box is checked, you will be
prompted to enter a file name for the project.
7. Choose the Done button to return to the OITware 200 - Read From OIT dialog box.
8. Choose the OK button to start the transfer.
Export Project to OIT
(all models except OIT5400)
This utility makes it possible to export an existing OITware-200 project to a different
OIT model (not available for the OIT5400). Please note that because there are
differences in operation from one OIT model to another, in most cases this export routine
cannot perform a 100% conversion. For instance, the Control Keys feature is not
exported from one OIT to another. Also, an OIT project file which uses Function Key
LEDs may not be exported to an OIT that does not have Function Key LEDs. The
primary intent of this utility is to convert as much of the project file created for one
particular OIT to another without sacrificing reliability. Therefore, you should always
thoroughly check the converted file to ensure that the project is accurate.
