Recipe Transfer

Configurator Recipe Transfer section

This area allows a user to transfer recipes from one device or PC Group to another device or PC
Group. The top two drop-down lists in the “Recipe Transfer” area are for the source of the
transfer and the destination of the transfer. Each item in the drop-down lists consists of two
parts. The first part is the type of item. There are only two options for the type, “Online” or
“Offline”. Online means that the device is online and it is connected via the Configurator. The
second part of the item is the name of the item. This could be “SSi Device”, which is an SSi
instrument and is only applied to an online device. Another option is “PC Group”, which is an
offline group. Any other PC Groups created in the “Offline Groups” will also be listed. Select
the source of the recipe transfer and the destination of the recipe transfer. To transfer only 1
recipe, select the recipe number from the top “Recipe:” number box by using the up and down
arrows, or by typing in the recipe number, and click on the top “Send” button. The cursor will
become an hourglass while the recipe is transferring, and the cursor will become the arrow again
when the transfer is finished. To transfer a group of recipes, use the bottom two “Recipe:”
number boxes. Use the left number box to select the starting recipe number for the transfer by
using the up or down arrow buttons or by typing in the recipe number. Use the right number box
to select the ending recipe number for the transfer. Click on the bottom “Send” button to begin
the transfer. The “Send” button will now say “Cancel” and the progress bar will mark off the
progress of the transfer.
