I have a project with a PanelView Plus 7, to program. I have recently upgraded my FT View Studio to version 12. The end user has version 11, and will need to modify / add to my programming.
If I use FT View Studio V12, to develop this HMI, and provide the end user with .apa & .mer files, will the end user be able to open and modify the HMI programming?
Some of the 'pop up' message language leads me to believe the answer is no. Due to the message stating, when opening a version 11 application:
"If you continue to open this application with version '12.00.00' of FactoryTalk View Studio, the application will be converted to this new version. Once the application has been converted, you will not be able to open the application using an older version of FactoryTalk View Studio."
Has anybody run into this? Advice and suggestion please? I am working on loading FT View Studio 11 onto a VM, as a possible solution.
