Test an application during development

You can test an application before creating the runtime application.
To test an application during development
  • With the application open, from the
    Application menu
    , select
    Test Application
    , or click the
    Test Application
     icon on the toolbar.
A FactoryTalk View ME Station emulator opens on the development computer and runs the application. There is a two-hour time limit for using the runtime system on the development computer.
TIP:
To test a single graphic display, with the graphic display open, from the
View
 menu, select
Test Display
. The objects on the display are activated and connected to the tags assigned to them. In this mode, only the tags connected to the display will work, not the links to other displays or the alarms or other functions.
If you have set up local messages and graphic objects to use multiple languages, the messages and objects will be shown in the application's current language while in test mode.
