Not sure what you have tried so far but you may want to look into this one. It will allow you to back up the data and application from the OP27 to your laptop without having to use Pro-Tool.
You can install Pro-Save as a stand alone application or as part of the Pro-Tool application. (It comes with the Pro Tool Apllication Installation CD).
Read the Pro Tool manual for more info.
In order to put the terminal into a transfer mode, follow the instructions in the OP27 manual.
What is ProSave?
Functionality
ProSave is integrated in ProTool but can also be installed as a stand-alone application. Thus, in the event of service being necessary with a stand-alone installation, you can restore to a device the original data you previously backed up with ProSave without using ProTool after, say, you have replaced a destination device.
ProSave provides all the functions required to download data between the configuration PC and the operating unit:
- <LI class=kadov-p-CDiscList>Install and uninstall drivers and options as well as information about installed and installable options on an operating unit
<LI class=kadov-p-CDiscList>Data backup by means of Backup/Restore functions
<LI class=kadov-p-CDiscList>Operating system download for Windows CE-based units
- License download
Furthermore, you can set ProSave's user interface in all languages that are also available in ProTool.
Integrated operation
With a ProTool installation, ProSave is installed by default on the configuration computer. The whole range of ProSave functions is available to you on the configuration computer within ProTool by choosing "File" > "Download" from the menu. This means that you do not have to open another application.
With integrated operation, the ProSave dialog boxes are opened from within a project. The advantage of this is that all necessary settings (such as destination device, download settings, and language setting) are applied from the project.
Stand-alone operation
ProSave can also be installed as a stand-alone version on a computer from the ProTool CD-ROM and without installing ProTool, for service purposes for example.
With a stand-alone installation, you have to explicitly perform the settings for the device and download operation on the ProSave user interface.
ProSave applications
ProSave can be used on the following operating units:
- <LI class=kadov-p-CStandard>Text-based displays: TD 17, OP 7, OP 17, C7-633, and C7-634
<LI class=kadov-p-CStandard>Graphic displays: OP 27, TP 27, OP 37, and TP 37
- All available Windows CE-based units
Note
For it to be possible to use the different operating units with the current version of ProSave, the units must have one of the following operating system versions:
- Windows CE devices: v.6.0 or higher
- Graphic devices: v.4.0 or higher
- Text-based devices: v.5.2 or higher
The operating system versions required for the Windows CE devices are supplied with ProTool.
