D-2 SmartPAC to SmartPAC 2 Upgrade
If you have programmed tool #99999999 in SmartPAC 1, be sure to make a copy of that tool
with a new tool number, then delete tool #99999999 before initiating a backup. In SmartPAC
2, tool #99999999 is reserved for Tool Template, a new SmartPAC feature (see page 5-5).
If your tool database is small and programming isn’t complicated, you may opt not to use a
backup utility. It may be simpler to record SmartPAC 1 tool settings on a setup sheet, then
enter the recorded settings into the SmartPAC 2.
Backing Up Tools to a Laptop
To use the SBR program to back up tools on your SmartPAC 1 to a connected laptop, refer to
the “Using SBR to Upgrade from SmartPAC 1 to SmartPAC 2” section of the SmartPAC
Backup and Restore Instruction Sheet, which is provided with the SBR software.
Backing Up Tools to a Network Server
To back up tools on your SmartPAC 1 to a network server, perform the following steps:
1. With the Main Program Menu displayed on the SmartPAC 1 front panel, press the 1 and
CLEAR keys at the same time and hold them down for a few seconds until the Main
Initialization Menu displays.
2. Select the BACKUP/RESTORE menu item to display the Backup/Restore Control Menu
(see Figure D-1).
When setting up SmartPACs in SBR, make sure to identify the control you are backing up as a
“SmartPAC 1” and the control you are restoring to as a “SmartPAC 2.” With these settings, SBR
will back up all tools and Initialization settings from the SmartPAC 1, then, when it detects that a
SmartPAC 2 is connected, restore only the tool settings, ignoring the Initialization parameters.
