Operation of Screen Data (Application) File
58
When you select [Import Component], a dialog box to specify the file to be read is
displayed. (For details of this dialog, refer to 3-3-2 Reading the Existing Screen
Data (Application) File.)
After specifying the folder, file name and file type, click the
Button.
The second Support Tool starts up and the application manager of the read out
screen data is displayed.
Reference:
It is not possible to start up the second Support Tool from the [Start] button of
Windows (Error message will be displayed). Be sure to select [Import Compo-
nent] from the [File] menu in the main window of the first Support Tool.
Copy/paste operation can not be performed between the two files if the PT
model of the two files is different. In this case, perform data conversion before-
hand so that the PT model setting of the copy source screen data matches to
the setting of the copy destination screen data. (Selected PT model can be
checked on the status bar.)
It is not possible to edit the same screen data file by two Support Tools. If you try
to read out the file that is already opened by the other Support Tool, error mes-
sage will be displayed.
The second Support Tool can read out the screen data file regardless of the file
types (onw, mmi).
When the second Support Tool is started, the windows of both Support Tools
are automatically resized into normal windows that overlap each other to facili-
tate the copy operation between the files.
It is not possible to open one more Support Tool when two Support Tools are
already started.
[Import Component] will not be displayed in the [File] menu when no screen
data is opened with the Support Tool.
Conversion of PLC address is executed when the PLC vendor (direct access)
is different between the copy source/destination screen data.
Conversion of key code is executed when the key code (font type) is different
between the copy source/destination screen data.
In case of the numeral/string table and bit memory table, if the table size of
copy destination is smaller than the size of copy source, excessive entries will
be discarded.
To achieve higher performance, close the second Support Tool after you com-
pleted import operation.
