4. A message will appear, prompting you to confirm the card format
or the flash memory format. Select Yes to proceed or No to
cancel the format.
You can now transfer application files to the correctly formatted
PCMCIA card or onboard flash memory.
Erasing a Destination Partition (F4)
The Erase Destination button can erase the selected partition on a
PCMCIA card that is already correctly partitioned for the PanelView
terminal, or a blank card. Note that erasing the partition means
clearing the partition of any files. Erase Destination will also clear a
partition in the terminal’s flash memory if Memory Partition 1 or
Memory Partition 2 is the selected destination.
However, Erase Destination will not erase a card that has been
partitioned with a non-PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e partition.
In this situation, use the Format PCMCIA Card button to delete the
contents of the PCMCIA card in the PCMCIA card socket and
re-format it for the PanelView terminal.
Using the Erase Destination button:
A file written to the terminal’s memory will occupy space until the
memory is erased, even if the file is deleted. When memory space
begins to run out, use the Erase Destination button to clear it.
Important: Because this process erases all data in the chosen
partition, be sure to copy any files that you want to
keep. You can download them again after the terminal
or PCMCIA memory space has been erased.
If the destination for the application file does not have enough
memory space, you can erase all data at that location.
1. Use the Select Destination button to choose the partition to erase.
2. Select the Erase Destination button.
3. A confirmation window will appear. Select Yes or No. If you
select Yes, a progress meter is displayed that indicates the status
of the erase.
When the erase is complete, you can initiate your application file
transfer to this location by pressing Copy.
