Displaying the Default Graphic for a Customized
Application
Follow this workflow if you have made modifications that result in a new application
number and you would like to use the default graphic supplied with Application MC for
the original application number. For example, you have added additional points or
PPCL to a PTEC device with an original application number of 6575 and have now
assigned it a custom application number of 12575. You want the Application MC
graphic displayed for Application 6575 to now also display for devices with Application
12575.
NOTE:
This procedure outlines using the USB drive to transfer the
ApplicationMC_Mapping.xml file to your computer. You can also use FTP to transfer
the file to your computer, and then transfer the file back on the field panel once
changes are made.
1. Verify that you have deployed Application MC to the field panel.
2. Remove the USB (B:) drive from the field panel.
3. Connect the USB drive to your computer.
4. On your computer open Windows Explorer and navigate to the FIN folder of the
USB drive.
5. Open the ApplicationMC_Mapping.xml file with your preferred text/XML editor.
6. In the XML file, navigate to the original [Application] element.
7. Copy the entire [Application] element and paste it after the last [Application]
element. Be careful not to paste it after the [/ApplicationMC_Mapping] element.
8. Change the ApplicationNumber property to the application number of your
customized application.
9. Save the XML file to the FIN folder in the USB drive.
10. Put the USB drive back into the field panel.
