FPGT Loader has the following new features:
*.gpt project files of version 1.0.2.0 could not be opened. This has been fixed.
For GT7xx panels that do not support the firmware upload, the firmware is pre-installed in the FPGT Loader application folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Panasonic-ID SUNX Control\FPGT Loader 2\Firmware or C:\Program Files (x86)\Panasonic Industry Control\FPGT Loader 2\Firmware. Other firmware files from the GTWIN_V3 application folder or from the Panasonic-Website can be added to this folder.
The following firmware is pre-installed:
GT703, GT704: from V1.400 to V1.470
GT707: from V1.400 to V1.660
To prevent unwanted overwriting of GT panel password settings, the password settings of the project and the GT panel are checked before download. If there are differences, the user will be asked how to proceed.

GT703, GT704: V1.460, V1.470
