6... PCMCIA CARD CONFIGURATION AND USE
USING THE OMP-MODL 6-7
PCMCIA Card Usage with HyperWare
The PCMCIA card, in a transportable memory application is typically used to
transfer collected data from a remotely located OMP-MODL to the PC
and/or to transfer a new Program Net from the PC to a remotely located
OMP-MODL.
Transferring Data from the OMP-MODL to the PC
After data has been stored on a PCMCIA card in the OMP-MODL,
the card can be transported back to the PC location where the
collected data is transferred from the card to a Download File on the
PC. The following steps detail this procedure:
1. Press STOP on the OMP-MODL front panel and cycle
the OMP-MODL power OFF. Remove the PCMCIA
card with the Eject button.
2. At this time, a new formatted and prepared card can be
inserted into the PCMCIA card socket and the OMP-
MODL can be powered up and the ENABLE button
pressed.
Observe the LCD for any error messages before leaving
the site.
NOTE: review the tips and cautionary measures to be
used in handling and insertion of the PCMCIA card in
the section above titled PCMCIA Card - Expanded

3. Transport the PCMCIA card to the PC location and
insert the card into the PCMCIA drive.
4. Double-click on the PCMCIA drive graphic within the
HyperComm Window and the PCMCIA card will
automatically be scanned. After a short delay, a
Program Net and Data icon will be displayed overlaying
the PCMCIA drive graphic.
5. Drag the Data icon from the PCMCIA drive to the PC
and the data transfer will commence. Refer to Chapter
6 for details on entering comments, etc during the data
transfer process.
6. The PCMCIA card can be cleared by double-clicking on
the CLEAR button located by the PD-1 graphic.
Transferring a Program Net from the PC to the OMP-
MODL
A OMP-MODL at a remote location can be reprogrammed by writing
a Program Net on a PCMCIA card at the PC location, then plugging
the PCMCIA card into the OMP-MODL. The following steps detail
this procedure:
1. Develop the new Program Net at the PC location (see
Chapter 7 on HyperNet Programming for details).
NOTE: it is imperative that the developed Program Net
is compatible with the remotely located OMP-MODL.
Great inconvenience can result if an incompatible
Program Net is developed , transported to the OMP-
