Use the Compare tab of the Transfer Utility dialog box to compare a local file to a remote file. The local file is a valid FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station runtime file (.mer) located on the computer that is running ME Transfer Utility, or on a computer connected to that computer by a network. The remote file is a valid FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station runtime file (.mer) located on a remote MobileView, PanelView Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus Compact, or PanelView Plus CE terminal connected to the local computer by a network.
The remote file is uploaded and saved to a temporary location on the computer running ME Transfer Utility. Once the upload is completed, the uploaded file is compared to the specified local file using a simple binary comparison. The utility then reports that the files are identical or different. When the comparison is finished, the uploaded file is deleted automatically.
