Intelligent Building Series C-Touch Programming Reference

If the continuation option is chosen, the C-Touch software runs through every

page and every component in the project. The display shows a “fast forward”

through the project as it carries out the checks. Finally a file is created in the

project directory called “resources.txt”. At the completion of the file preparation

another dialogue box is displayed (the number of bytes being dependant upon

the actual project involved):

Upon selecting Y

es the file is opened by the default system text editor. This file

can also be examined at a later time. It is used to find out where memory is

being used and to report whether the project is too large to download.

Whether a resources file is generated or not, a project may be downloaded

either via the serial cable supplied or via the C-Bus network. The steps to

Download via the serial cable are as follows:

• the PC is connected to the C-Touch unit via the supplied serial cable

which has a nine pin “D” type connector at one end and an RJ45

connector at the other

• The “D” connector is connected to a free COM port on the computer and

the RJ45 to the connector on the C-Touch unit. (The C-Touch unit comes

with a rubber bung in the RJ45 connection which must be removed to

expose the connections)

• Choose the Download tool

• Choose Transfer | Download (the settings will be those selected in the

PC Connection to C-Touch as described in section 5.1)

• The download Dialogue Box will appear.

Note: Using C-Bus to download a project is very slow

If the configuration data is to be downloaded for a project that is already open,

the OK selection commences the downloading process. The download may

take up to five minutes, depending on the size of the file.

If a different file is to be downloaded, the Download Other Configuration File

radio button is selected and the desired file indicated followed by the OK button.

If new firmware is to be downloaded, the Download Firmware check box is

ticked and, after navigating to the desired file, the OK button is selected.
