• Destination location - The location where you want to transfer the
selected file. You can transfer a file to Internal Storage of the terminal, USB
Storage, SD Storage, or My Computer.
Transferring Applications Applications created on one PanelView Component terminal can be used on
other PanelView Component terminals. For example, you might design an
application on one terminal and then distribute the application to other
terminals for production.
Transferring an application is a two-step process.
• Export the application from the internal storage of the terminal to your
computer, a USB Flash Drive, or SD card.
• Import the application from a computer, USB Flash Drive, or SD card to
the internal storage of another terminal.
If the target terminal is a different type and size than the source terminal, some
aspects of the application is converted and the remaining properties require
updates. If trying to run an application, you are warned that the application was
not created for the terminal, but you are given an option to continue or cancel
unless the differences make it impossible to run the application (for example, an
Ethernet application on a terminal without an Ethernet network connection).
PanelView Component applications are saved with a .cha file type. You cannot
edit the file outside of the PanelView Explorer design environment.
Export an Application
During an export, the application file is transferred from internal storage of the
terminal to a USB Flash Drive, SD card, or computer. The application is saved
with its default name and .cha file type.
Follow these steps to export an application.
1. Go to the PanelView Explorer Startup window.
2. Click the File Transfer link.
3. Click the New transfer button.
4. Select Internal Storage as the source location of the application and click
Next.
IMPORTANT If transferring a file from or to USB or SD storage, verify that the
USB flash drive or SD card is inserted in the terminal before
starting the file transfer.
