Import an Application
During an import, the .cha application file is transferred from a USB Flash Drive,
SD card, or computer to the internal storage of the terminal. The transfer
operation communicates with the terminal to import the file.
You cannot overwrite an application while the application is running. You must
unload the current application before overwriting the application. You can
import applications while another is running.
Follow these steps to import an application.
1. Go to the PanelView Explorer Startup window.
2. If an application is currently loaded, click the stop sign above the
dashboard to unload the current application.
3. Click the File Transfer link.

The application is transferred to the internal storage of the terminal.
If an application with the same name already exists in internal storage, you will be
asked if you want to replace the existing application.
If the target terminal is a different type and size then the source terminal, the
application will be converted when in Edit, Test Run, or Run mode. The
application may require updates in design mode before running properly.
