This allows the operator to load and run an MER as well as configure ME Station for
Windows using the Graphical User Interface.

Delete log files on the run-time computer

When you run your application, FactoryTalk View ME Station stores log files for alarms
and data logging (if you use these features). When you start FactoryTalk View ME
Station, you can delete the alarm and data log files for the loaded application, or for all the
applications on the run-time computer.

Run a newer version of the application

If you run a newer version of an application, the alarm log file for the older version is
deleted automatically. The data log file for the older version is retained, to allow the
display of historical data in trends.

For more information about the alarm log file, see page 9-10. For more information about
data log files, see page 26-4.
