Burn EEPROMS
To burn EEPROMs 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.
After you press Enter, PanelBuilder takes a few seconds to generate the
hex files. When the file is created, the Burn FILENAME menu opens,
(where FILENAME is the name of the application file you selected).
The download to the burner is done in two parts, because one file is burned
into two EEPROM chips—the high bytes in one and the low bytes in the
other. Both chips can be later installed into the PanelView terminal. In
Figure 6.29 , [U52] and [U53] refer to the labels on the chip sockets on the
PanelView terminal’s logic board.
Send User Mem High Byte sends the data for EEPROM chip U52 to the
EPROM burner.
Send User Mem Low Byte sends the data for EEPROM chip U53 to the
EPROM burner.
Configure Port allows you to configure your computer’s serial port to
communicate with the EPROM burner.
Application Size calculates the amount of memory the application file
would occupy in a PanelView terminal. This is not the same as the disk
space used by the application file.
To convert an application file into two hex files which can later be
retrieved or sent to the EPROM burner, choose Generate Hex Files. The
two files that are created correspond to “User Mem High Byte (U52)” and
“User Mem Low Byte (U53)” and have the file extensions .U52 and .U53.
To send previously generated Hex files, choose Select Hex File. The Hex
files will be loaded and the Burn FILENAME menu will appear as it does
when using the Select Application File option.
