A Brief Tour of PanelBuilder 1400e

Publication 2711E-818 – January 1998

To understand how PanelBuilder 1400e works, you need to know the
following concepts.

PanelBuilder 1400e Window

The PanelBuilder 1400e Window is the first window that appears
when you start PanelBuilder 1400e. In it you create and configure
applications.

Application

An application is a file that you create and configure in PanelBuilder
1400e. You download the completed application to a PanelView
terminal, where it appears as a set of screens and screen components.
The operator uses these components to monitor and control the
operations of an automated process or machine.

For a detailed example of a photocopying application, see the tutorial
beginning in Chapter 4 of this manual.

Application Window

Each application has its own window that appears within the
PanelBuilder 1400e Window. This window is called the Application
Window. Through it you can access all the components that make up
a single application.
