Reverting to the standard application

There are two different ways to close new user interfaces and return to the
standard application.
You can use the "RECALL" key to close new user interfaces if you have not
configured this key for any other task.
See also Subsection 3.4.3 "RECALL key".
EXIT function
See Subsection 3.4.4 "Start softkeys" and
Subsection 3.6.1 "Changing screen forms/softkeys".
2.1.3

Configuration .ini files

Every application uses permanent (HMI, HT6, ShopMill, ManualTurn) or default
(HMI) start softkeys, which can be selected to open newly configured screen forms.
Additional start softkeys can be configured with HMI Advanced.
A table containing the start softkeys with the assigned configuration files (default
setting) appears in Chapter 8 "Table of start softkeys".
Other files
In the event of a call to load a screen form (LM) or a softkey menu (LS) in a
configuration file, a new file name containing the object called can be specified.
This makes it possible to structure the configuration, e.g., all functions in one
operation mode in a separate configuration file.
2.1.4

Search sequence for configuration files

HMI Embedded/HT6
With HMI Embedded, HT6, ShopMill and ManualTurn, the system first attempts to
access the configuration files in the user cycles directory (NC memory), then in the
standard cycles directory and finally in a special DOS directory (Flash file system).
The Flash file system is the preferred option for performance-related reasons.
A setting can be made in file COMMON.COM in the standard cycles directory/user
cycles directory of HMI Embedded, HT6 to specify whether a configuration file
search should be carried out each time access is made (only relevant when the
screen forms are being set up directly on the control) or if the file already located
and buffered should be used (corresponds to the standard operating scenario).
Further information about setting the configuring and operational environments can
be found in Chapter 7.
