Saving Multiple .hwi Files in a Controller

1. Shut down any test and quit all Series 793 applications.
CAUTION:
For proper operation, the hardware resources specified in a configuration (.cfg)
file must match those in the .hwi file.
Changing the hardware resources in an .hwi file can cause the system load
operation to fail.
When using multiple .hwi files with the same controller, make sure that your .hwi

settings.
3. From the File menu, click Save As.
4. In the Save As window, select the new controller directory and click Save. The following window
appears:
If you click Yes, the file is saved in the controller directory and the controller.793settings file is
modified to point to the new .hwi file. The next time you start a controller application, it will use
the new .hwi file.
