InTouch Example Tutorial
This section describes step by step instructions to help the novice InTouch user to navigate the
example InTouch application.
InTouch Animation and I/O Tags
Objects in an HMI display are selected from a toolbar and placed on a window form. They come to
life at runtime with animation links that bind the object’s runtime behavior to a tag in the tag
dictionary. This exercise shows you how an object’s animation behavior is defined, and a single I/O
tag is setup.
1. 
The final step of the setup described above should have left you with the dialog shown in figure 1.
This dialog is associated with setting up NetDDE which is not used in this example. Click the 
Done
button without modifying any fields in this dialog.

The next dialog box prompts you to select a window to open. As shown in figure 2, select the
