Quick Panel documentation
I also have a Quick Panel jr that is going to need support. (Model QPJ2D100L2P
Series A- Made in Japan )
We'd like to add new operator features to the machine, but the OEM and our plant engineering person didn't see eye to eye, so supplier support is thin.
I have tracked QuickDesigner to Xycom, who sells QD v3.7. Anything I found on GE or FANUC sites seemed to be a dead link, or "This product is no longer supported". Xycom has a page saying that more of these are due to be obsoleted in 2006 (buy our NEW, Better product. uhhunh). Their products uses the same software (?).

1. Does anyone know where I can find programming/user documentation? I need to do some reading.
2. Can anyone confirm the imminent obsolescence of QP jr's?? (URL's would be nice)
3. Does anyone have experience with migrating to, or recommend, a similar product? (talking to an SLC 5/03)
I originally got a quote on the software, thinking it would be like PanelBuilder (upload, modify, download, etc.). OOps!
It seems likely that the project will not be in the machine, and I need to wave the yellow flag at management, if modification is going to be more difficult than anticipated.
PS: does anyone have a programming cable diagram/pinout?
