Verifying PanelView Terminal Operation

Publication 2711E-821 – January 1998

Your PanelBuilder software includes a DH+ application
demonstration file for both the touch screen and keypad terminals. If
your system does not yet include an application file to download and
test, use the DEMO file for your terminal.

Note: The PanelBuilder software includes a demo that you can run
for the 1000e and 1400e terminals only. To run demos for the 1200e
terminal, you need to change the Terminal Type (from the Terminal
Setup screen in PanelBuilder) before downloading.

Matching Communications Settings

Before you can serially download or upload, the communication
settings on the terminal and File Transfer Utility must be the same.
The factory settings of the terminal and File Transfer Utility are
matched, so if you have not changed them, download the DEMO or
your other application file now.

To reset the terminal to its default settings:

1. Choose Restore Defaults from the Terminal Configuration screen.

2. Choose Load Terminal Configuration Defaults. To manually

change defaults, refer to Chapter 5 of this manual.

All configuration parameter defaults will be reset, not only the
file transfer parameters.

To reset the parameters in your PanelBuilder development computer,
refer to the PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software for Windows
User Manual.

Download Procedure

Once communication settings are matched, you can start the
download procedure as follows:

1. Connect the terminal to the development computer with the

Upload/Download cable.

2. Set the Mode Select Keyswitch to Configure mode.

3. Choose Transfer Application from the Terminal Configuration

screen.

4. In the development computer, choose an application file for

downloading, and start the download. Choose your own
application file if you have one. If not, select the applicable
demonstration file for your terminal type from the files packaged
with PanelBuilder software.
