2.3.4 Starting OEM programs
Overview
You can start OEM programs directly before starting the HMI system software. This requires
these programs (or their links) to be stored in subdirectories of the directory C:\RunOEM.
Starting sequence
The subdirectories are executed in the order listed. The programs within a subdirectory are
started in the chronological order in which they were placed in the subdirectory.
● Programs in the C:\RunOEM\SeqOnce subdirectory are started once and sequentially,
i.e., a program is not started until the previously started program is completed.
● Programs in the C:\RunOEM\Seq subdirectory are started sequentially whenever the
system is ramped up, i.e., a program is not started until the previously started program is
completed.
● Programs in the C:\RunOEM\ParOnce subdirectory are started once and simultaneously.
They run parallel with the HMI system software.
● Programs in the C:\RunOEM\Par subdirectory are started simultaneously whenever the
system is ramped up. They run parallel with the HMI system software.
Not only program files, but also other types of file can be stored in the subdirectories, which
are then opened in accordance with their file type.
For example, ".txt" files are opened using Notepad, ".htm" files are opened using Internet
Explorer.
