Precautions on installing BootOS, standard monitor OS

(1)Installing both BootOS and standard monitor OS

After completing BootOS installation, install standard monitor OS. When installing BootOS, the built-in flash memory in the GOT is initialized and goes to the status at factory shipment. (All OS and project data are erased.)

BootOS is installed in the GOT at factory shipment.

It is not necessary to install BootOS when not upgrading it.

(2)Copying project data using SD card or USB memory

After installing BootOS, standard monitor OS, and other OS, download the project data.

At this time, match the version of the standard monitor OS in the GOT with the version of the standard monitor OS with which the project data was created.

(3)When OS and project data are in the SD card or USB memory (when using GT Designer3)

When installing by pressing the upper left corner of the GOT screen, project data is downloaded after completion of OS installation.

When installing with the utility, install the OS and download the project data from their respective operation screens.

(4)Installation cannot be interrupted.
