Clear Memory in QuickPanel View / Control / +

Important Note: This procedure will clear the project from your HMI, preparing your HMI for a fresh download of the project to your
HMI.

When downloading a project to a QuickPanel View/Control HMI, files are left on the HMI that after repeated downloads may
interfere with View Runtime operation. This can be resolved by manually deleting files from the HMI.

Manual file deletion steps:

QuickPanel View / Control

If View Runtime is running – reboot HMI (start | programs | system | reboot | yes)
When HMI is powering up select ‘Don’t run Startup Programs’, this will result in the Desktop showing (and no Runtime)

From HMI Taskbar click Start | Programs | Windows Explorer

Double click folder (to open) \Flash Storage\
Delete all files & folders – some folders cannot be deleted e.g. \Flash Storage\Documents and Settings & OS_Patches (may or may
not be present depending on version of CE on HMI – do not delete)
Return to root directory
Delete \fxViewRuntime\ directory (may or may not be present depending on Project)
Return to root directory
Double click folder (to open) \SRAM Storage\
Delete \fxViewRuntime\ directory
Close WINDOWS EXPLORER
Reboot panel

You have now removed files and folders from previous View Runtime downloads and are ready to download a complete fresh
version of your View Runtime project.
