connection.
Compact HMI Editor can also write the Panels in your Solution directly to the touch screen using
Tools  Send Solution to Device when the touch screen is connected via USB using Mobile
Device Center (Windows Vista, 7, & 8) or ActiveSync (Windows XP). Compact HMI Editor will
clear the .cfxml files from the touch screen's CompactRealtime folder and save the Panels in
the Solution to the touch screen.
