View data values that are saved at run time
Use the RecipePlus Editor in FactoryTalk View Studio to view data values that have been
saved at run time.
The operator can save tag values at run time by uploading to an existing data set or to a
new data set. The operator can also edit data set values in the RecipePlus table and save
the edited values (unless the table is View only).
If recipe files are stored with the HMI project, changes are saved in the .mer file. To view
the changes in FactoryTalk View Studio, convert the .mer file to an .med file. For more
information about converting the run-time application file, see page 14-6.
To view data values in modified recipe files
1. If recipe files are stored outside of the HMI project, do one of the following:
 Add the recipe file (*.rpp) that you saved at run time into the application using
Add Component Into Application (for details, see page 18-3).
 If the recipe file already exists in the application, you can just copy the modified
file back into the application’s RecipePlus folder. (For the path to the RecipePlus
folder, see page 29-5.)
