Reviewing Object Mapping
This table identifies how some PanelBuilder32 graphic objects migrate into a
FactoryTalk View ME application.
Reviewing Data Type
Mapping
This table shows how data types map between PanelBuilder32 and Machine
Edition software.
IMPORTANT It is important that you verify the function of all objects after importing
your application to FactoryTalk View ME software. New objects may not
function as expected.
