A connection is established to the controllers using the default APOSS interface. Anycontroller that is currently executing will be stopped. The following steps are performed for each accessiblecontroller. All steps are performed for one controller before going on to the next controller.– The program is compiled using compiler settings appropriate to the controller.– All existing programs on the controller are deleted.– The program is downloaded.– The program is saved as program number 0 with the specified program name. If no program namewas specified, then the first 8 characters of the filename are used.– If the Verify flag is set, then the downloaded program is uploaded again and the downloaded anduploaded versions are compared. If they differ, then processing is halted for this controller. Notethat not all older controllers contain firmware that will support uploading the program. This flag isignored if the controller does not support uploading.– The Autostart flag is set for the program if requested.– All data is saved in EPROM if requested. Note that this will be done automatically for newercontrollers.– The controller is restarted with the new program if requested.– The connection to the controllers is closed.
