    Upgrading from classic to 2016 and programming

    When upgrading from classic to 2016 is there an easy way to export / import the programming?

    I may have a buyer for my classic so I'm thinking of upgrading

    Second question. How thick is the head unit for the 2016 My other worry is it won't fit in my control panel and I may need to in set it or get fancy with mounting

    Upgrading from classic to 2016 and programming

    There is no import/export for upgrading - the backup files from one Apex model cannot be loaded on a different model due to hardware differences.

    You will need to setup the new Apex from scratch. But if you keep the Classic online whike doing so, you can easily swap browser windows back and forth, referring to the Classic as needed while you configure the new Apex. You can also use the Configuration Summary report from Apex Fusion as a reference.

    I outlined an approach here: https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sho...l=1#post106867

    The Apex (2016) is 3” front to back when mounted to a vertical surface.

    You should only move one module at a time.

    That's what I ended up doing. Had them turning side by side and slowly merged them over
