Conversion Overview

NOTE: The tools mentioned below are available up to v2.5. Migrating a project or controller can still be done with these Migration Tools but further upgrade will be required.

Projects

Pharos Designer 2 is an upgrade to the existing Pharos Designer v1.12.1, and as such all programming logic and techniques are still valid, however there are new tools and processes to make this programming methodology quicker and simpler:

• Transform Tools
• Project Customisation Tool
• Trigger Filtering

If you want to upgrade an installation from v1.x.x to v2, or you are working on a project in v1.x.x and want to continue working in v2, there is a tool which can be used to convert the v1.x.x file to a v2 file. See Migration Tools for more information.

Hardware

Designer 2 can work with all Pharos hardware, except:

• LPC Rev 1 (Serial numbers lower than 006xxx)
• AVC

All other Pharos hardware can be used with Designer 2 and the firmware can be upgraded from v1.x.x to v2 using the Firmware Migration Tool . See Migration Tools for more information.
