you can exit your
installation tool.
Using the InTouch Example
To use the InTouch example, you will need InTouch 7.0 installed on your PC with the LNS DDE
Server. You will also need a LonPoint Demo Kit to run the example, but you can open the example
in WindowMaker without an attached network if you do not have LonPoint devices.
To open the
InTouch example, follow these steps:
1. Import the LNS DDE Test drawing and database as described in
Using the Example LNS
Database
earlier in this document.
2. Select the InTouch WindowMaker shortcut from the Example Application folder in the Echelon
LNS DDE Server program folder.
3. To switch to runtime mode, click Runtime! on the InTouch menu. A dialog confirming that you
want to start the LNS DDE Server is displayed.
4. Click Yes to start the LNS DDE Server.
