When trying to download the tp5 file, I always get a timeout error message.

TP Design 5, 1.5.0.111 (Support File Version 1.5.68)

    Regarding the ability to "Receive TP5 File from Panel," this is known and being added in. It will be available in an upcoming firmware release.

    Downloading a new Varia TP5 file worked for me as expexted.
    What will not work by design is to load a Modero based TP5 file to a Varia by filter "panel with like resolution"

    • Loading a Varia type tp5 file to a Modero will transfer, but the Modero panel only shows black screen
    • Loading a Modero type tp5 file to a Varia will transfer, but the Varia panel comes then back with the default design.

    Not confirmed yet, but seems it is not possible get the default panel design from a Varia.

    Thanks for this informations.

    Maybe I chose the wrong word. I cannot "Receive from Panel" a tp5 file.
    Neither the default demo file nor the file designed and sent by me.

    Loading (or "Send to Panel") is working fine.

    Haven't tested yet to receive a custom tp5 file from the Varia... don't have a unit on hand at the moment.

    Do you know if there will be a conversion utility, at least from Modero to Varia? Like the TP4 to TP5 converter. Starting over with each panel design does not sound like fun :/

    @richardherman Varia runs G5. No conversion needed. New resolution, but not a different file type.

    @richardherman
    I could just save a MT-1002|MT-702|MX-1001 tp5 file (with a resolution of 1280x800) as a Varia-SL80 (same resolution of 1280x800) via save as a different panel type and it works great without any scaling options.

    Good to know: you need to install the latest G5SupportFiles-1_5_68.exe first.

    The TP5 file must be "converted" (save as different panel type) from a Modero to a (matching in resolution) Varia panel type, also also on the other way Varia to Modero, otherwise you get the effects I mentioned above.

    Ah, That's easy enough.
