First, install a USB memory drive in a PC and then create a blank folder, Install_Xpanel, with the path as shown below.

 

{USB drive name}/hi5/applet/Install_Xpanel/

 

When a project is prepared completely in XpanelDesigner, select the “Online — Making a mobile disk for execution” menu. When it comes to the saving path, select the Install_Xpanel that was created previously (once the hard disk’s path is selected, it is okay to copy the generated Xpanel folder in the USB memory drive’s Install_Xpanel).

In the selected path, the Xpanel folder that contains the running time software and drawings will be generated. It is necessary to copy the files (Hi5Install.cfg, Hi5Install.exe, and a shortcut to Xpanel) that are provided together with the installation files into the Install_Xpanel folder.

 

The USB memory drive should be configured now as shown in the following figure.
