interface functionality. Load firmware from the flash card in one of two ways:
• If a memory card is present when you initially power up or reboot the
operator interface, and that card has a valid firmware file with the
extension of .FMW, the operator interface automatically loads the first
.FMW file on the card. —OR—
• You can select and load a .FMW file from the card to the operator
interface, as described in the following section.
From the TRANSFER screen, press [F3] to access the DIRECTORY screen.
Refer to
Select/Enter a Filename on page 241
for instructions on selecting a file
from the listing.
Once you select a file, the TRANSFER: PROGRAM screen shows the filename,
