  • When backing up on the panel, the Backup feature is accessed through the Main menu of the touch panel. When storing from the PC, use the Project Transfer feature. The.easv file will be stored in an CMEA-MemoryCopy folder and can be opened using the C-more software.

.eas9

The Startup Storage file type stores the project file, panel firmware, panel operating system and logged data as a back-up file. The file is created when doing a backup to a memory device installed on the EA9 panel. The file is also created when doing a Project Transfer to an external memory device in v6.xx or earlier software.
