5. Return to the front panel and run the VI. It launches the Engine if it is

not running already. The Engine reads

mytanks.scf

and launches the

Tanks Server.

6. Now, you can see the Mixer tag values being monitored in the real-time

trend. Select Operate»Stop to stop the VI.

Diagrams generated by the HMI G Wizard have a lock on the top right

corner of the outermost structure. You cannot edit the code inside the

structure until you release the lock. However, you can pop up on the

front panel object, select HMI G Wizard, and change your selections

in the dialog box. When you press OK, the changes are incorporated

into the previously generated diagram.

The locked code is very tightly coupled with the front panel object. If

you delete the front panel object, the block diagram associated with it

is deleted automatically.

7. Save the VI as

My Tank HMI.vi

in the

BridgeVIEW\Activity

directory.

End of Activity 4-1.
