About the upload

You can upload while an application is running on the run-time computer. You can upload

an existing copy of the application currently running on the run-time computer.

Serial uploads

To perform a serial upload, make sure the terminal is connected to the development
computer using the correct cable. Connect a PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6,
PanelView Plus, or PanelView Plus CE terminal to the PC using the Allen-Bradley serial
cable 2711-NC13.

For details about performing the upload, see Help for the Transfer Utility.

Compare applications

You can also use the Transfer Utility tool to compare an application on the development
computer with an application on the terminal. The comparison tool can tell you whether
the files are identical or different. The comparison tool detects differences using a binary
checksum. It is not possible to list individual differences between the files.

PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView Plus 6 terminals cannot process a Gradient Fill that uses a
Diagonal Up or Diagonal Down direction, nor can the PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView Plus
6terminals apply a Gradient Fill to a rotated object. While running an MER on a PanelView Plus 7
or PanelView Plus 6 terminal, the gradient attributes will be animated using the gradient fill
starting color as the object’s solid color background.

When running the MER on a computer, the system can process all gradient fills and this warning
does not apply.
