Protecting Past Investments

RSView Studio imports the majority of PanelView Standard
and PanelView ‘e’ tags and screens

Physical migration by retaining common cutouts


PanelView Plus with a larger display drops into the
same cutout as smaller PanelView Standard and
PanelView ‘e’
Adapter plates when maintaining the display size is
preferred
