Guide: Converting Recipe Data from GOT1000 to GOT2000

This guide explains the process of migrating recipe information after a project has been converted from GOT1000 to GOT2000.

Step 1: Export Data from GOT1000

1. On the GOT unit, access the Utility menu and navigate to the Recipe section.
2. Convert the recipe file from G1P format to CSV format.
3. Connect to a PC and use GT Designer3 (GOT1000) to read the data.
   • Go to Communication > Read from GOT.
   • Select Resource Data and choose the Source Drive (e.g., Drive A).
   • Click Info Reception, select the converted CSV file, and click GOT Read to save it to your PC.
     

Step 2: Prepare the Data in Excel

1. Open the GOT1000 CSV file in Excel.
2. Copy only the Data section. Do not include the DEV_SIZE header or technical metadata.
3. Paste this data into a new Excel sheet and perform a Clear Formats command to ensure the data is clean.
   

Step 3: Transfer Data to GOT2000 Format

1. Follow the same process as Step 1 to obtain a template CSV file from the GOT2000.
2. Open the GOT2000 CSV file and paste the cleared data from your new Excel sheet into the Data section, replacing the existing values.
3. Save and close the CSV file.
   

Step 4: Import Data to GOT2000

1. Use GT Designer3 (GOT2000) to write the updated file back to the unit.
   • Go to Communication > Write to GOT.
   • Set Write Data to Resource Data and click Select Resource Data.
   • Select the modified CSV file from your PC and set the destination to the SD Card in the RECIPE folder.
2. On the GOT2000 unit, go to Recipe Information.
3. Select the CSV file and press the CSV/TXT -> G2P button to convert the data back into the GOT's native recipe format.
4. Once the process is complete, the migration is successful.
