PC Control / Touch Control

Program version
Information about the existing program version is given under

System/Device manager. Select the corresponding device and press

[Edit].

Data source
If PC Control is used then the firmware of the control device should be

available on one of the data carriers of the computer. This could be a

hard disk, CD-ROM or a PCMCIA or CompactFlash card connected by

a card reader.
The Touch Control requires the program files on a memory card in

Card slot 1 (Card 1).
The corresponding files can be found on the installation CD in the

directory "Firmware".
Before carrying out an update you should first perform a backup in

order to save your data and system settings (see Section 3.11.6).

Always use a newly formatted memory card for the backup with Touch

Control.

Update of Touch Control

In the menu System/Diagnosis/Software update select Touch

Control under Device. In the selection list Update type, select the

item Program and confirm with [Continue].

Under Binary file, open the list with the program files on the

memory card. The file name has the following structure:
Touch Control – program:

5xxx01yy.BIN

xxx = Touch Control version (device number)

yy = 10 or higher (program version)

Take care that the device and version numbers are assigned

correctly.

Select the required program file and press [Select].

Confirm the selected file with [Continue].

Start the update with the [Start] fixed key. Further steps are

shown in the dialog.

A backup request appears. Confirm the process with [Yes]; the

process is canceled with [No] and you have the possibility of

saving your data.

At the end of the update you must switch off the Touch Control and

then switch it on again after a few seconds. A RAM initialization is

carried out automatically (see Section 5.3.2). This takes some time.
