Our example uses townhall files 1, 2 and 3. As stated these are selected by holding the control key and￿ selecting each file. Upon clicking Open you will be returned back to the control screen where the selected￿ files will be displayed in the downloaded files list.￿

If required, files can be removed by selecting them on the list and clicking remove file.... Once all the re-￿

quired files are present click on Analyse Downloads >> and follow the steps in Example 1 section 5.1.4.￿

Appendix A: PANCOM File Corruption￿

File corruption is where the data stored in a file is different to the data that is expected. The corruption that￿ occasionally effects EDA panel downloads is a loss in the synchronisation between the panel and the PC￿ being downloaded to. The result is almost always a loss of a small portion of the data. EDA device down-￿ loads have two formats, one for the dual frequency M100 system and another for the single frequency￿ M200 system. These formats are shown below and also in the two attached download examples.￿

M100 lines are of the following format:￿

D:0001 T:----------- S:20 A50 I-- F-- R-- DEVICE￿

M200 lines follow this similar format:￿

D0001 T01 S54 SMOKE T01￿

The numbers following D in both cases indicate the device number, the numbers following the S indicate￿ signal strength. More often that not corruption consists of a few missing characters which upon user analy-￿ sis can easily be inserted. Occasionally the corruption may cause the loss of whole lines of data in which￿ case another panel download is recommended.￿

In order to pass the corruption check the test characters from the line must be in the correct position rela-￿ tive to the start of the line, hence a missing hyphen (-) between the T: and S: would cause the S character￿ to shift left - failing the corruption check.￿

A character inserted at the start of the line would also cause the line to fail since all test characters would￿ be shifted right.￿

Corrections made to corruption using the PANCOM software are only temporary and need to be performed￿ each time the data is processed. For a more permanent correction the source file should be opened using￿ a text editor such as NOTEPAD and corrected, failing that another download should correct the problem.￿
