Boot menu / Bootmenu
Multiple projects can be stored on the integrated memory. The project which is started automatically is defined using the "start.emc" file. To load a different project, the start file need to be updated, or on touch enabled panels, a project can be selected via the boot menu:
How to enter the boot menu?
When switching on the device (or after hardware reset), wipe over the touch panel several times in short interval.
To avoid mis-use by the operator, the boot menu can be deactivated. For this purpose, an empty file named "bootmenu.off" must be placed in the root directory of the memory. This can be done using the uniEXPLORER (not with Modbus) to transfer the file, or directly via uniTFTs commands:
#FWO</bootmenu.off>
In addition to project selection, the boot menu offers the option to start test mode and to display information about the firmware version. It also gives the possibility to set interface type, baudrate, IP address etc.
