Development vs RunTime
Software |
| |
|
The Development software is used to create projects that can
be downloaded to a Maple Systems Panel
PC (Windows XP) or Open HMI
(Windows CE.net) Panel PC. |
|
The RunTime software allows a WebStudio project to run on a
Maple Systems Panel PC/Open
HMI. |
|
| When ordering WebStudio, one RunTime software is included with the
Development software. Additional RunTime Software is required for every Maple
Systems Panel PC. |
