The default project file (specified under "Tools" > "Options") is automatically loaded, the OPC
subsystem is started and the client is connected to the server. If no default project has been
specified, the most recently used project is loaded.
Note
If the OPC server application is started manually but the OPC subsystem has not been
started, a new client connect starts the OPC subsystem and connects to this server instance.
