Integrating the Custom operating area

HMI Advanced
The operating area is enabled in the REGIE.INI file and is assigned to a softkey.
Example:
Activation via horizontal softkey 4 in the 1
(standard assignment).
a) The entry must be made in section [TaskConfiguration]:
Task11 = name := custom, Timeout := 12000
b) In file control.ini this operating area can also be selected as the standard start-
up area. The entry must be made in section [Miscellaneous]:
PoweronTaskIndex = 11
The corresponding lines can be deactivated by adding a ";" comment line at the
beginning of the line if the Custom area is not to be selected or should not be
activated on start-up.
The area can be assigned to a different softkey by changing the task number.
HMI Embedded
The HMI software for the CUSTOM application evaluates file custom.ini and
decides whether the area should be displayed. The file contains a section for this
purpose (HMI Embedded only):
[Activate]
Activate=True
The operating area is assigned to a horizontal softkey by the customer using the
Software Configuration Kit (SCK.EXE), menu option "Modify configuration".
In order for the Custom operating area to be activated by default on start-up, the
softkey numbers must be entered in display machine data MD 9016:
MM_SWITCH_TO_AREA.
If this display MD has the value -1, HMI Embedded will start up in the operating
area specified as the start-up area with the SCK. (When delivered, softkey 1 in the
