Open multiple applications

To open two applications at the same time, for example to copy images and graphic
objects between applications, start two instances of FactoryTalk View Studio.

Open and edit applications from earlier versions of RSView or
FactoryTalk View ME

You can open and edit applications from RSView 3.10, 3.20, and FactoryTalk View 4.0,
5.0, 6.0, 6.10, and 7.0. When you are finished editing, you can create runtime application
files for ME Station version 3.10, 3.20, 4.0,5.0, 5.10, 6.0, 6.10, and 7.0. This allows you to
continue running your applications on existing terminals, without upgrading all your
software.

The application is converted to the current version of FactoryTalk View when you import
it, but when you create the run-time application file you can save it back to the earlier
version.

If the application uses a feature that is not supported by the run-time version, you will not
be able to create the run-time application file. The exceptions are multiple languages, and
global objects. When you create the run-time application file, it uses the application’s
current language. You can create as many different run-time application files, in as many
different languages, as you want. However, the language switch feature is not available at
run time for version 3.10, and 3.20 applications. Global objects are converted to regular
objects in the run-time application file for versions 3.10, and 3.20.

For information about importing applications, see page 4-5. For information about the
features supported in different versions of FactoryTalk View and RSView, see

To view a graphic display in different languages at the same time, open the application multiple
times, selecting a different language each time you open it.
