Optional EEPROM or EPROM for BackĆup or Additional Application
Memory
Earlier PanelView terminals contained two sockets for optional EPROM or
EEPROM chips. Series D and E PanelView terminals have only one socket
for an optional EPROM/EEPROM, called the user PROM.
an EPROM can be used for application file back-up, which is useful for
keeping the application file safe, even in the event of a battery failure.
The application file is programmed into the EPROM with a PROM
burner. Once programmed, they cannot be erased or overwritten.
An application file must be burned into the EPROM by connecting an
EPROM burner to the development computer. The PanelBuilder
Development Software has been tested with the Data I/O Model 29A
EPROM burner. PanelBuilder downloads application files to the
EPROM burner in Intel Hex Format. Your EPROM burner must be able
to accept a simple dump of Intel Hex format data and use 27C512 or
28C512 type PROMs without special commands or operations.
PanelBuilder can also translate your application file to a DOS file with
the Intel Hex Format. This allows you to use other EPROM burners
(with their own software drivers) for the IBM PC
r.
an EEPROM can be used for application file back-up or for extra
application memory.
when the EEPROM is used for application back-up, the
downloaded application file is automatically copied to the
EEPROM during the download operation.
the EEPROM can also be used to increase the memory available
for application file storage from 64K to 128K. If the EEPROM is
used in this way, it cannot be used as back-up for the application
file.
Mouse
The mouse provides an optional convenience in PanelBuilder. The Mouse
menu allows you to set a damping factor to control how quickly the screen
cursor reacts to mouse movement. You can use the mouse instead of the
arrow and Enter keys, when developing screens. See Chapter 3, Using
PanelBuilder for information on configuring the mouse.
