Tutorial: Building a Simple Project Specifying the startup screen This part of the tutorial shows how to open the project settings and then specify which screen should be displayed on startup. • Use the Information tab to provide information that identifies the project (such as project description, revision number, Company name, Author's name, field equipment, and general notes). • Use the Options tab to specify generic settings for the project, such as the Target System, Automatic Translation, Alarm history and Events, Default Database and Shared Tags. • Use the Viewer tab to enable/disable the runtime desktop parameters.
• Use the Communication tab to specify communication parameters relating to the project in general. • Use the Preferences tab to enable/disable warning messages when using the development application. To specify the startup screen: 1. On the Project tab of the ribbon, in the Settings group, click Viewer . The Project Settings dialog is displayed with the Viewer tab selected. 2. In the Startup screen box, type main.scc . When you run the project, it will automatically display the main screen (or whichever screen you specify) first. You can specify a screen before you create it, but if the screen has been created, then you can also select it from the list. 3. Click OK . Page 57
