To load new firmware
click on the “ROM Update” button
located on the bottom of the main panel. A load progress
dialog will appear giving the number of blocks loaded.
Typically 400 blocks are required for a full ROM update.
Once the load is completed, the progress window
disappears, and the TekTouchPad resets.
Downloading the Configuration
Once all the schemes, bitmaps, fonts, and button definitions have been completed, the project
may then be sent to the TekTouchPad. Before sending the project it is best to make certain you
have the correct serial port settings and wire
connections made by getting the ROM version
by pressing the
“Get Version” button. If the ROM
version is not returned and the Time Out message is displayed, you need to check for the
correct Com Port and connections. From the PC the RS-232 cable requires a Null Female to
Female cable. If you are not certain the ROM in the TekTouchPad is not the latest, go ahead
and updated the ROM by pressing
“ROM Update”.
To load the project into the TekTouchPad, click on the
“Send Config” button on the lower main screen. If
communications is correct, the DownloadSetup dialog
is displayed. This dialog allows for the selection of the
items you need to send to the TekTouchPad. By
default the Configuration Data and Splash Screen
(Logo page) are selected. These are the only two you
need unless you are adding bitmaps and fonts. If the
splash screen is already loaded, the Splash Screen
selection can be deselected which speeds up the
loading process. A warning dialog will then come up
prior to actually changing TekTouchPad configuration.
Click on “OK” to start the download.
While loading the load process popup is displayed
showing the blocks sent to the TekTouchPad.
