| Problem: |
| |
|
| An interrupted or bad download to a GP or PanelStation (Quickpanel) can leave the unit unusable and unable to be
reprogrammed. This is because these panels contain a bootstrap loader and only get half a download.
Before returning the unit to the factory for re-flashing, please try the following: |
| |
|
| The trick is to get into the unit immediately after power up. |
| |
|
| Solution: |
| |
|
| 1. Connect the download cable to the PC and GP (PanelStation) but leave the GP (PanelStation) switched OFF. THIS IS CRUCIAL. |
| 2. Start a normal download following one of these instructions: |
| a. If using GP-Pro PB/III, make sure the transfer settings are set to "Force System Setup" and that "GP System Screen" is checked. |
| b. If using Quickdesigner, once the COURIER dialog box opens, check "Update Display Device Executable". |
| 3. Both GP-Pro and QD should recognize that the unit is not powered and prompt you to turn it ON. |
| 4. Apply power to the unit. Either software package will usually pick up and start to transfer. |
| 5. If it doesn't work the first time, try a couple more times following the above proceedure. If after three or four tries it doesn't
work, then the unit will need to be sent back to the factory for re-flashing. |
