Is RS View 32 worth the extra $1300 over just buying PanelBuilder 32 or is there a big difference.

I already have access to Panelbuilder but wa looking at the additional tools RS View has.

RSView32 is used to make a PC running windows into an HMI station. It is very powerful and flexible although can be buggy.

It is really a totally different animal than PanelBuilder32 which is still required to program Panelview Standard terminals.

the one thing i was interested in was RSLadder. Can i put RSLadder on a touchPanel so the Mechanics that dont have laptops can see the ladder logic.
