Exporting for the Touch Screen
When you are ready to export your Solution to the
touch screen, select Tools  Export Device Files (see
Figure 29). This option will create a folder containing
all of the Panel and Tag files needed for Compact HMI
on the touch screen. These files are saved to a folder
on your computer, allowing you to transfer the files to
the device manually (by using a flash drive, Compact
Flash card, or other compatible data transfer device),
back up the files, or perform other tasks with them as
necessary. Note that the files saved to the touch
screen device are not the Solution files saved on the
development computer.
The user has the option of saving certain Panels (and
not others) and the runtime executable files (which are
used on the touch screen) when exporting the device
files the specified path. This will allow the user to
create project templates with multiple screen layouts,
but only use the appropriate Panels at runtime.
