Access Configuration Mode
The terminal uses built-in software, FactoryTalk View ME Station, to configure
start-up options, load and run applications, access the Windows desktop, and
perform other terminal operations. When you reset the terminal, one of these
actions occurs, depending on the configured start-up option:
• FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode is launched (closed
system). This is the initial default.
• FactoryTalk View Machine Edition HMI .mer application is set to run
(closed system).
• Windows Explorer desktop is launched (open system).
You can access the Configuration mode of the terminal from the Windows
Explorer desktop by double-clicking the FactoryTalk View ME Station icon.
