| 171 | The following steps will show how to start PIStudio and create a project. | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | **Requirement** | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | PIStudio programming software is installed. | ||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | **Operating Procedure** | ||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | 1. Start PISudio software by clicking icon, or from Start Menu. | ||
| 180 | 1. Find " PISudio" folder. | ||
| 181 | 1. Click " PISudio" icon to start software. | ||

| 202 | * User could find a folder named HMIProject on the desktop. | ||
| 203 | * In the folder user could find a file with a suffix named ".pi". Double click the file to open the project. | ||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | == Add screen == | ||
| 206 | |||
| 207 | The following steps will show how to create and rename screens in HMIEditorP. | ||
| 208 | |||
| 209 | New screens, which are still blank, could be created using the "Common object". User could choose different objects to design screen according to project's requirements. | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | **Requirement** | ||
| 212 | |||
| 213 | The "Quick_Start" project is open. | ||
| 214 | |||
| 215 | **Steps:** | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | 1. Create a new process screen: Clicking "New" will appear "New screen" setting. | ||

| 243 | 1. And "Function key" for screens switch. | ||
| 244 | |||
| 245 | **Result** | ||
| 246 | |||
| 247 | Do a project screen with a bit button, one chart display object, and one Function key for switching screen. | ||
