Importing existing PPS profile to new computer

[kc5igh]

Good morning.

I bought a new HP laptop, and I want to program my Unication G5 with it by transferring the information stored in my G5 and/or the PPS in my old laptop.

I've downloaded the software to the new computer, and I found the page (F1) that enables me to import a single profile

Where do I go from here? If I simply connect my G5 to the computer, will it find and transfer my existing profile, or is there something else I need to do first?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You've got the right idea... open the PPS, connect your G5, then select Import.



In fact, if I remember correctly, when you connect the G5, the PPS may automatically prompt you to import its current profile.

Hopefully you have saved (exported) all the profiles, that is very important to ensure your programming is available in case of issues. If you have saved the profiles, go to the import screen and select the profile you want to use from the saved profile on the computer ( F tab F1 tab ). If you have not saved the profiles you will need to tab C then C3 and read from device, afterwards make sure you export the profile to save it for future use.

Okay . . . I've connected my G5 to the new computer.

The G5's display says "PC Connected," and I've opened the PPS import page on my new computer. The software is asking me to "please select a unipps file," but there's no file to select.

I've opened the Unication file in Windows 11, and there are a lot of folders and files in there that I don't want to tinker with. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something simple, but I'm not sure what that might be.

Suggestions?

My apologies... the answer is in @RaleighGuy 's response:

You need to read from the G5, by going to C and then C3.

My method only works for importing the file from a computer.

That was it!

It looks like I've successfully downloaded and saved the profile from my G5. This was one of those tasks I don't do often enough to any good at it.

I don't have anything to change on the G5, so I'll call it a day and get started on some other stuff I need to do.

Many thanks to lebrunmn and RaleighGuy!!
