The Configuration Tool
Symbols
Pictures that are used in projects are converted to .png files when the project is
validated.
Pictures are resized to the largest static usage in any of the project screens, in
order to save memor y space in the panel. If a picture is enlarged in runtime using
dynamics, the enlarged picture will have a lower effective resolution.
Project pictures are stored in the Symbols folder as a compressed folder named
Symbols.zip.
Temp
The Te mp folder contains intermediate build files from project compilation.
The Te mp folder also includes the Output folder. The Output folder contains all
files needed to run the project in the target. These files are copied to an operator
panel when the Download command is used. For a PC, the Export command is
used to copy the necessary files to a USB stick to the runtime PC via a network
connection.
