Chapter 7 Qualify the Runtime Application
Test Run the Application
After testing and verifying that each graphic display is error free, you are ready
to test run the entire application. Application Test mode lets you navigate
through the entire application to validate functions that are not tested in
Display Test mode. Some of these features include alarming, data logging,
information messages, global connections, and macros.
As you navigate through displays in Application Test mode, the Diagnostic List
logs warnings and errors as they occur. Correct all logged errors and then retest
the application to validate error correction.
Follow these steps to test run an application.
1. Open your converted application in FactoryTalk View ME software.
2. Test the application in one of two ways.
• Choose Test Application from the Application menu.
• Click the Test Application icon on the toolbar.
The emulator opens on your computer and runs the application. There
is a two-hour limit for using the runtime emulator.
3. To exit the emulator, press x on your keyboard.
IMPORTANT You must be connected to the controller and online before testing the
application for accuracy.
TIP Local messages and graphic objects that are configured for multiple
languages display in the current language of the application while in Test
Application mode.
TIP The emulator window requires focus when pressing the x key to exit the
emulator.
