Application Migration From MD-4(7) to MD5(8).

Application Migration From MD-4(7) to MD5(8).

1. How do I migrate a chunky application without having to lose connections to my I/O's that are present on separate Expansion modules but controlled by the head master MD4-(7) when I need to migrate the application from MD4-(7) to MD5-(8)?

2. How do I keep connections between adjustment groups, adjustment parameters, logs and Monitoring channels under the same transition?

3. Basically how can I completely migrate an application contained in an MD4-(7) screen to an MD5-(8) screen without loosing connections to other hardware in the System Layout if I am using a Variance file. 

The purpose is to have 2 selectable headmasters with complete application available on both.

I have finally figure it out but the video I have made for it is 209 MBs. Is there a YouTube channel link where you guys can upload it? I am happy to send the video through Dropbox to an email assigned. In the meantime you may download it through the following link:

  • In system layout, add the MD5 give it the same module properties as the MD4.
  • Ctrl-A in application view and drag the application over.
  • Ctrl-A in module block diagram view and drag the I/O channels over.
  • In system layout, move each CAN port over.
  • In logs, move each Event and statistics log over.
