Panelview Plus 7 Perf.- When downloading a runtime should it reboot?

[Baker in Virginia]

Good Afternoon ,

I have a Panelview Plus 7 Performance HMI. I made some screen changes and created another runtime. I downloaded to the Panelview Plus 7 , expecting it to re-boot , but it did not. What did I do wrong ? I am sure I missed a checkbox some place. That is normal for it to re-boot , correct ?

Thanks so much for you help.

You need to check the "Run Application on Startup" box when transferring. This reboots the terminal automatically

Your right. My dumbness. Thanks

To be fair, this isn't exactly made obvious!

Using that checkbox is the only reliable method I know about to force the terminal to run the just-downloaded *.MER at the next reboot.

I don't even experiment with the Terminal Settings methods anymore; I just do another download with the box checked when I know I have an application I want to run.

Thanks guys ,

I heard that with the Panelview Plus 7 that you can add videos to applications . Is that true ? If so , how is that done ? I would like to put some training videos on some of our HMI's.

Thanks again , and have a nice Easter ,

If you have a "Performance" model, it has both a speaker driver output (screw terminals on the back) and Microsoft Video Player 9 installed on the Windows CE 6.0 operating system.

There are a handful of Knowledgebase documents about using the App Launcher ActiveX to run the PDF viewer or the video player.
