Introduction

The C-more touch panels include a series of built-in System Setup Screens that allow the user to view detailed information about the panel, adjust certain features, configure communications, test various functions of the touch panel, backup & restore system, recipe, log and project memory, clear memory, and reset all values and conditions back to the original factory defaults.
The following is presented to give the user a detailed step by step look at 1.) how to access the System Setup Screens, 2.) what adjustments and features are available, 3.) when and why the feature may need to be adjusted or used, and 4.) how to adjust and/or interrupt the features.
The System Setup Screens from the Main Menu are split into four different categories to make it simple for the user to select the area for viewing information, making adjustments, testing the touch panel or working with the internal and/or external memory options. The four Main Menu selections are:
Information
Information
Here you will find detailed information in regards to the touch panel model, the panel’s name, version information for the hardware, boot loader and firmware, clock source, battery status and beeper status. Also available are details on the panel’s internal memory and the status of any external memory devices, such as CompactFlash memory and USB pen drives. Communication port details are also available in this area, as well as an error log to help in trouble-shooting the system.

This is the area for 1.) making adjustments to the internal clock,
2.) adjusting the brightness (color panels) and contrast (grayscale panels) of the display, 3.) adjusting (calibrating) the touch panel, 4.) enabling or disabling the internal beeper, and 5.) the IP Address of the touch panel can also be configured from this menu area. Access to the IP Address Setting screen is covered later in this chapter.
From this sub menu, the user can 1.) test the touch panel, 2.) test the display, 3.) test the communication ports, and 4.) test both the internal beeper or the audio line output, if a speaker with an amplifier is connected. A WAV sound file is system provided for the audio line output test.
Select the Memory menu item to either backup or restore your project, log data, recipe data and/or system memory. Selections can be made to backup to optional CompactFlash memory or USB pen drive memory. The menu selections also give the user the ability to clear the memory, and there is also a selection to reset all of the touch panel settings back to the original factory defaults.

Chapter Organization

The System Setup Screens chapter is organized in the following order:
1.) Accessing the system setup screens with no project loaded will take the user directly to the Main Menu – page 5-4.
2.) Accessing the system setup screens with a project loaded will first take the user to a dialog box warning the user that the panel will stop running and waits for an acknowledgement – page 5-5. a.) If a password is not enabled, the user is taken directly to the Main Menu after the warning message is acknowledged – page 5-6. b.) If a password is enabled, then the Enter Security Code keypad is presented after the warning message is acknowledged – page 5-6.
3.) How to enable a password in the C-more Programming software is explained – page 5-7.
4.) System Setup Screens organized as shown in the following flowchart:

Using this test, normal or unusual operation of the analog touch panel can be determined.
Testing:
If an area of the touch screen is suspected to be inoperable, touch that area of the screen while in the Test Touch Panel screen mode. The screen pixels should turn black in that area. If the screen pixels do not turn black when touched, then the touch screen is defective or needs to be calibrated. See Setting - Adjust Touch Screen on page 5-22.
Both the title bar (Test Touch Panel) and Cancel button can be drawn across to test the touch operation.

Project Executed from CompactFlash (CF Slot #1)
If a CompactFlash card is located in the CF1 slot at the time a project is transferred to the panel, the project will be stored on the CompactFlash card, not in the internal Built-in FLASH memory.
If CF1 slot contains a CompactFlash with a project and:
1.) The touch panel’s power is cycled, then
2.) The project file stored on the CompactFlash is loaded into the touch panel’s internal DRAM memory and executed. Please note that the project stored in the panel’s internal FLASH memory is NOT loaded into the internal DRAM memory when a CompactFlash memory card is present. Any project in the internal FLASH memory is cleared.
Warning: During power up with a CompactFlash plugged into the CF1 Slot, please do not remove the memory card from the slot. Damage to the CompactFlash and possibly the touch panel may result.
Warning: After a firmware update, the project files which are located in either the touch panel’s internal FLASH memory or the CompactFlash plugged into CF1 Slot are cleared. The programming software will need to be used to Transfer the project file back into the panel. If you wish to retain the project on the CompactFlash, power down the panel and remove the CompactFlash before performing a firmware upgrade.

Increasing Project Memory Size using a CompactFlash in CF1 Slot:
If a project is transferred to the panel with a CompactFlash card in CF1 Slot, the Font and Recipe data files are not included in the 10MB (40MB for 12” and 15” models) project size. Therefore using CF1 can allow a project to be loaded that is larger than 10MB if the excessive size is caused by Fonts and/or Recipe Sheets.

Note: If you have a memory device inserted into the proper port on the touch panel, but it doesn’t show up as highlighted in Step 1 of the Backup setup screen, then try a different device to determine if the memory device is defective or if there is a possible problem with the memory device connection. It may not be compatible with the panel. This rarely happens with CF memory, but some USB pen drives are not USB 1.1 compatible and will not work with C-more touch panels. Also, some USB pen drives may take several minutes before they are recognized by the panel.
Please read the explanation for the availability of CF1 under different conditions as shown on the next two pages.

Memory – Restore

The Memory - Restore function is used to:
1.) Restore a project previously backed up on a CompactFlash card or USB pen drive memory device to the same panel. See Memory - Backup on page 5-37.
2.) Copy a project from one panel to another panel using a memory device to physically transport the data files.
3.) Restore a project into the panel that was transfered to an “External Memory Device” using the C-more Programming Software.
4.) Restore Recipe Sheet(s) previously backed up to a memory device or copied to the memory device using a PC.
The available memory devices will be displayed showing the total and free available memory for that device. If the device is not available, it will be grayed out. The Next button is grayed out until a device is selected.
The Cancel button can be pressed at any time to return to the Memory Menu screen.

This is an example of a USB memory device selected to be used for restoring the data file(s).
The selected device is highlighted. Pressing again unselects it.
When there are more than two available restore devices, the one selected will be highlighted. If there is only one available memory device, it needs to be highlighted in order to go to the next step.
Press the Next button to continue to continue to Step 2.
Note: If you have a memory device inserted into the proper port on the touch panel, but it doesn’t show up as highlighted in Step 1 of the Restore setup screen, then try a different device to determine if the memory device is defective or if there is a possible problem with the memory device connection. It may not be compatible with the panel. This rarely happens with CF mamory, but some USB pen drives are not USB 1.1 compatible and will not work with C-more touch panels. Also, some USB pen drives may take several minutes before they are recognized by the panel.
