Download Runtime Application wizard

How do I open the Download Runtime Application wizard?
On the
Menu
 bar, click
Communications > Download
.
Use the Download Runtime Application wizard to build the runtime application from a project and transfer it to the HMI device.
The wizard contains three pages:
  • HMI Device Location
    . Use this page to:
    • Specify the communication path from the computer running
      View Designer
       to the HMI device to which the runtime application is to download.
    • Specify the language to display if the project contains multiple languages.
  • Controller References
    . Shows the controller references for the project entered in
    the
    Controller References
     dialog box (
    Project > Project Properties > References
    ). Use this page to verify the correct controller reference and project file are selected.
  • Download
    . This page
    • shows the progress of the download process as
      View Designer
       saves and verifies the project, builds the runtime application, connects to the HMI device, and transfers the runtime application to the HMI device.
If
View Designer
 encounters a problem, an error message appears and the process stops. When
View Designer
 finds invalid tags or expressions during project verification, the
Errors
window opens to list the warnings or errors associated with the tags or expressions. Resolve all errors before downloading the runtime application to the HMI device again.
IMPORTANT:
  • When downloading the runtime application to an HMI device that has a different screen size or aspect ratio than the configured device, specify how screens are scaled on the
    Project Properties > Application
     tab before proceeding.
When downloading a project or flashing an HMI device that has the screen saver running, the progress may not be visible. Stop the screen saver on the HMI device before beginning the download or flash process.
