UFF file?

Hi all

I am trying to get a TPD file from a old TP, AXD CA10

I am doing a "receive file" process, its taking long time and I can see that the TP is transfering all the data, but in the end I get the error:

"Failed to convert panel UFF to TPD!"

I never worked with such a panel, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ady.

    You might try using an older version of TPD. Which version are you using?

    2.11

    Is this panel is using a TPD file or something else?

    Thanks

    I think a CA10 would require TPD 3.

    But how to get it from the panel?
    From Netlinx or from the Tp3?

    Thanks

    I doubt UFF is a file type, but an acronym for a particular storage area in the panel. If it is a file type, it's one used internally.

    I would try first seeing if the firmware can be updated, and then check if it works after that. If not, maybe an older version of TPD (maybe even TPD 2 ... just how old is this panel?) will work.

    The easiest way is to connect to the panel directly via serial. If you then open up TP3 you should be able to select 'Upload from Panel...'. From there make sure you've got the correct serial port selected under 'Comm Settings', return to 'Actions' and hit 'Connect'. That should then pull everything off the panel for you.

    UFF = Unified File Format. It is used internally by AMX. You will need TPD3 to retrieve the file from the panel. I believe the instructions given in this post are accurate.
