Transferring Application Files with User
PROMs
This chapter describes how to burn application files into user EPROMs and
program application files into user EEPROMs. It tells you about:
burning EPROMs for Series C and earlier terminals
burning a single EPROM for Series D, E and F terminals
programming EEPROMs
You can download a PanelBuilder application file to a user EPROM by
burning the application into the EPROM, using an EPROM burner.
Important Before the PanelBuilder application file can be burned into the
EPROM, it must have been saved in Intel Hex Format or as a DOS file.
This is done in PanelBuilder. If you have PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration
Software for Windows, you can also save it in absolute binary format. For
information on saving the application file in another file format, refer to
your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual, or the
PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.
Important You can use the PanelView 1200 Transfer Utility to burn only
64K EPROMs. If you want to transfer an application file to a 128K
EPROM, you must first save the file in absolute binary format (*.APL file
type) in PanelBuilder 1200 for Windows. You can then take this file
directly to the EPROM burner, and burn it onto the 128K EPROM.
Important The EPROM burner must be able to accept a single dump of
Intel Hex format data and use 27C256 or 27C512 type EPROMs without
special commands or operations. If you’re burning a 128K EPROM for a
Series F terminal, the EPROM burner must be able to accept 27C010 type
EPROMs. Since PanelBuilder can also translate your application file to a
DOS file with the Intel Hex Format you can use other EPROM Burners
(with their own software drivers) for the IBM PC.
