Transferring Application Files with
Chapter 5
User PROMs
5-4
When you have burned the EPROMs you can install them into the
PanelView 1200 terminal’s logic board, in chip sockets U52 and U53.
Converting an Application into Hex Files
You can convert an application file into two hex files. Later, you can
retrieve these files and send them to the EPROM burner.
To convert an application file into two Hex files:
" Choose Generate Hex Files from the Burn EPROMS menu and press
ENTER.
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.
Burning Previously Generated Hex Files
If you have previously generated Hex files, you can send them to the
EPROM burner.
To burn previously generated Hex files:
1 Choose Select Hex File from the Burn EPROMs menu, and select the
file you want to burn. Press
ENTER.
The Hex files will be loaded and the Burn FILENAME menu will
appear as it does when you’re using the Select Application File option.
2 Follow steps 5a to 5d, outlined in the previous section.
Burn Single EPROM
Series D, E and F terminals accept only a single EPROM.
Important You can burn a 64K EPROM using method outlined below, but
not a 128K EPROM. If you want to program a 128K EPROM you must
first save the application file in absolute binary format using PanelBuilder
1200. You can then take it directly to an EPROM burner and burn it. For
instructions on saving the file, see your PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration
Software for Windows User Manual. See your EPROM burner user’s
manual for details on burning the EPROM.
Important The application file must have been created with the User
Memory Limit set to one of the smaller selections (59,904 or 62,976) if the
EPROM is to be installed in a Series D or E terminal.
