Earlier PanelView terminals contained two sockets for optional PROMs.
Series D and E PanelView terminals have only one socket for one optional
EPROM/EEPROM.

To burn two 27C256 type EPROMs for use in a Series C or earlier
terminal, choose Burn EPROMS from the Transfer menu.

To burn a single 27C512 type EPROM for use in a Series D or E terminal,
choose Burn Single EPROM from the Transfer menu.

Before you can burn an application file into the user EPROM, you must
connect your computer to an EPROM burner with an RS-232 serial cable.
The EPROM burner is connected to the same RS-232 port on the
development computer that is used to connect the PanelView terminal.
Refer to your EPROM burner user’s manual for connection instructions.

IMPORTANT: PanelBuilder downloads the application file to the
EPROM burner in Intel Hex Format. The EPROM burner must be able to
accept a simple dump of Intel Hex format data and use 27C256 or 27C512
type EPROMs 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. See the following sections
Burn EPROMS and Burn Single EPROM for more information.

Burn EPROMS

To burn EPROMs for Series C and earlier terminals, choose Burn
EPROMS
from the Transfer Menu. Then, choose Select Application File to
select the file you will download to the EPROM burner.
