Detailing Hardware And Software Considerations For The DXP System
Detailing The Hardware Considerations

Programming The Features
Upgrading The DXP Software
To enable VMMI use on the DXP system, you must upgrade the DXP software to at least release 10A
(or to whatever software revision that is now current). Further, to preserve your existing database you
must convert it through the use of the PCMMI database programming software that is at software release
9x. The upgrade to software release 10A or later requires that you also install a new RAM card
(DXRAM–EXPC) as well as the software memory card...

Converting The DXP Database
Use this procedure to convert an existing DXP database to a software release 9x compatibility. This
action places the database in an arrangement that allows you to translate it. Translating the database
makes it compatible with software releases that support VMMI usage (software release 10A and later).
1. Employ a PC with an XMODEM communications program and use the DXP’s embedded MMI
programming method to store the current DXP database to the PC’s hard drive. The saved...
