My Power832 system is 10 years old. It's version 2.02 I think. I have a newer PC1832 4.6 as a backup in case the 5010 dies which it did 10 years ago.
I'm about to add a PC5100 and a PC5204. Would it be better to upgrade the PC5010 now? Are there major new features or improvements of the current system?
I have my current system backed up with DLS2002. It's got strange quirks though. For instance, I have an IT100 which occupies slot 8 but in order for DLS2002 to communicate with an LCD5500Z keypad, it also has to be on slot 8 which means any time I want to make changes to the keypads with DLS2002, I have to remove the IT100, change one of the LCD5500Z keypads to slot 8, then do 902/903. Then I have to do it all in reverse when I want to put the IT100 back on. Pain the but. Does DLS5 and the PC1832 fix all of that?
I also have DLS5 installed but haven't used it yet.
Is there a way to download the 5010 settings to the 1832 or should I just count on manually populating the system through DLS5? I'd like to have it all ready to go so that when I swap the board, I can use DLS upload to program it.
