FactoryTalk View ME for PanelView Plus has two "emulation" modes.
When you press the "Play" button in the Display design view, the single Display screen that is in the foreground will run most of its objects. This is a simple and rapid way to test individual screen objects.
When you click the "Running Man" icon, FactoryTalk View Studio creates a test Runtime of the application and runs it on your computer. This is the whole application; alarming, navigation, trending, etc.
