Getting a VTZ from a TSW-1060 (I have the VTX)


 

I'm assuming not, but I seem to remember something about this last year...
I have a take-over project with TSW-1060s but no VTP source code. I have all the 'Display' files from the Toolbox/File Manager including the VTX file.
Is there even a way to create the VTZ file from this??
All I really want is a way to run an xPanel to see how the original project runs. I'm remote so this will help to see the original concept before we update to completely new code...

TIA!!


 
Edited

A vtz file is just a zip file. You should be able to rename a vtz to zip and see how it is organized and replicate it with the files you have.


 

Unfortunately all I have is a VTX, not a VTZ...
I seemed to remember that there was a way to convert, but that might only have been with construct...


 

Cant you just connect to the panel running the project and use File Manager to pull all the UI files on the panel and then just zip them up and change to VTZ? Used to do that on old panels but havent tried on newer TSW panels.?


 

You need to select all files & subfolders pulled from /display/ and ZIP them to a single file.
Though I prefer 7zip, I use Windows built-in "Right Click > Send To > Comressed (zipped) folder" option for this.
Then you rename the .zip file to MyFilenameFromTheVTXFile.vtz.

Make sure you're actually changing the file extension & not just renaming (to FileName.vtz.zip).
Click Windows Start button and type "File Explorer Options" then navigate to the View tab.
Uncheck the box for "Hide extensions for known file types" if needed, prior to changing the extension from .zip to .vtz.

There is no guarantee the reconstructed .vtz will be viable after doing this.
Note that Toolbox doesn't have any official "Retrieve Project" for touch panels (like there is a "Retrieve Program" for control systems).
In most instances with newer panels (x52 and later?) this process typically works though.
You can try launching the .vtz in XPanel Desktop software to see if it will run prior to trying to load it to a panel.
