Terminal Operation Description

Run Application [F2] Runs the loaded .mer application displayed under Current application. You must load an application before running it.
Application Settings [F3] Opens a menu of application-specific configuration settings, such as device shortcuts defined for the loaded .mer application. Device shortcuts
are read-only and cannot be edited.
For example, your .MER application can have CLX defined as a device shortcut name for a ControlLogix
® controller.
Terminal Settings [F4] Opens a menu of options to configure non-application, terminal settings for the PanelView Plus 6 device.
Delete Log Files Before Running [F5] Toggles between Yes and No. If you select Yes, all data log files, alarm history, and alarm status file are deleted before the application is run. If
you select No, log files are not deleted first.
Deleting log files is a way to reclaim memory in the terminal.
