Recovery Mode
Overview
When a display unit fails to accept the project in a transfer operation, follow the steps below to enter recovery mode and transfer the project again. If a problem occurs during a project transfer operation, the system automatically enters recovery mode.
For SP5000 Series Power Box, SP5000X Series, GP-4100 Series, ST6000 Series, and STM6000 Series
Recovery via Touch
For SP5000 Series Open Box (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Model), IPC Series, and PC/AT
Recovery via Application
- There are no security features included with recovery mode.
For safely transferring project files, refer to the following.
Cybersecurity Do not turn OFF the PC or display unit, nor disconnect the transfer cable during recovery.
Recovery via Touch
- Display units with a projective capacitive (P-CAP) display do not support recovery via touch. P-CAP displays initialize the touch panel during startup. If you touch the touch panel while it is initializing, subsequent touches will not work.
To use recovery via touch on a box module, a display module needs to be connected.
- Turn on the display unit.
- Touch and hold the bottom-left corner or bottom-right corner (within an 80 pixel area) of the display until a dialog box appears.
- When the project is set up in portrait mode, the corners of the touch areas for entering recovery mode are as follows:
When display is rotated clockwise
- When display is rotated counter-clockwise
- For information on
rotating display units, refer to [Orientation] in the following
Target Settings. - Click [Yes] to enter recovery mode.
