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:
