Return to the front panel and run the VI. It launches the Engine if it is
not running already. The Engine reads

mytanks.scf

and launches the

Tanks Server.

Now, you can see the Mixer tag values being monitored in the real-time
trend. Select Operate»Stop to stop the VI.

Diagrams generated by the HMI G Wizard have a lock on the top right
corner of the outermost structure. You cannot edit the code inside the
structure until you release the lock. However, you can pop up on the
front panel object, select HMI G Wizard, and change your selections
in the dialog box. When you press OK, the changes are incorporated
into the previously generated diagram.

The locked code is very tightly coupled with the front panel object. If
you delete the front panel object, the block diagram associated with it
is deleted automatically.

Save the VI as

My Tank HMI.vi

in the

BridgeVIEW\Activity

directory.
