FT Studio SE

[Hal9000]

Hello,


I have used FT Studio ME for basic HMI applications in the past, but I now have an opportunity to modify an existing FT Studio SE program. I'm awaiting my SE license at the moment, but I have a couple of advance questions....


Firstly, my client has sent me a back up of the application, it is not an .apa file as I thought it would be, it's made up of numerous files, is this correct for Studio SE?:


cashe
comprf
DLGLOG
DTS
EDS
Gfx
Global Objects
Images
KEY
LNG
LOcal
Mcr
PAR
RCP
Startup
TAG
TREND
VBA
HMI.sed


How do I import these files into FT Studio SE? Or should I request an .apa backup (if possible.


Secondly, can I test my SE application in the same way I was able to test my HMI applications developed in ME. i.e. will I be able to use the "Test Application" feature in the same way and effectivly connect to my bench PLC and de-bug the SCADA screens?


Thanks in advance.

SE projects are restored through the " Backup/Restore" application that comes with the SE installation. It will use the .sed file when you try and restore. A word of caution, follow the required steps before installing the software or life can be hard.

Thanks Kev77

Would that be the same as HMI Server Backup and Restore?

Yes, that's it. When you go to restore the application you will need to browse for the hmi.sed file.
