Can I use RsView Studio to upload and program PanelView 600, 1000 and other Panel view's? What software version is the best to buy?
Thanks in advance...

There is important that with v4, you can save in older versions, it will depends of the firmware in your panel view, if this panel view is older version it will need the mer file saved on 3.0,3.1 or 3.2 goodlock.gherz817 said:Can I use RsView Studio to upload and program PanelView 600, 1000 and other Panel view's?

Yep. Mer.00 is a folder. Just go into it and you will see all folders that a standart for any other project. Just copy all this stuff to where your RSView stores projects. When you start RSView Development next time it should show you this project in a list...sageone said:n_lev
Are you saying I can then edit this file somehow? And Save it as a .apa? I have found the Mer.00, Now what do I do with it.
Thanks for your help

To un-archive the MER file follow these easy steps:
1. Upload MER file from PanelView.
2. Double click on the project with the MER extension. RS View ME Station will start.
3. As long as RS View ME Station is running (even if an error is shown) it un-archives the project to:
C:\Documents and Settings\<login username>\Local Settings\Temp\~MER.00
Replace <login username> with your login details.
Note that “\Local Settings” is a hidden directory.
The un-archived files are deleted when ME Station is no longer running.

I had to create a new project in RSView Studio with the same name as the .MER. This is the only way that I was able to open the project in RSView Studio.
I deleted all the contents of the new project and replaced them with the contents of the temporary folder noted in your steps.
The one thing that it didn't restore was the RSLinx Enterprise path. I guess that is not that big of deal as long as you don't replace the comms when you download. It is pretty simple to re-create it though.
One of our Engineers was at the Automation Fair a couple of weeks ago and a Rockwell guy said that this was not possible. They are supposed to add this feature into the next release of RSView.
