If you click No, the file is saved in the controller directory but the controller.793settings file is
not modified.

Note:

You can now use the Project Manager application to switch between the multiple .hwi
files that you saved in the controller directory.

Selecting .hwi Files in a Controller Directory

You can use the Project Manager application to select different .hwi files for use with 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
files all have identical hardware resources.

2. Start the Project Manager application.

3. From the Tools menu, click Controller Settings.

4. In the controller list, click the Hwi file.

5. In the Hwi File text box, type the name of the .hwi file that you want to use.

6. Click OK.

The controller.793settings file is modified to point to the .hwi file. The next time you start a
controller application, it will use the .hwi file that you defined above.
