## Display Hardware Configuration

There are two ways to display the Hardware Configuration screen.

### Display with Touch Gestures

Within 0.5 seconds, touch the top-right then bottom-left corners, or the top-left and bottom-right corners (within a 40 pixel area) of the screen.

Note:

- When using SP5000 Series Open Box (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Model) or IPC Series, you have 5 seconds to touch the top-right then bottom-left, or top-left then bottom-right corners.

- When you set the [Security Level] in the screen editing software, only users that satisfy the specified security level can use touch gestures to display Hardware Configuration. If you use touch gestures to try and enter Hardware Configuration and the security level is insufficient, a message box appears from which you can log in with a different user.
  When the Hardware Configuration [Security Level] is set to 0, anyone can access Hardware Configuration.

- In the screen editing software, if [Display Hardware Configuration] is disabled you cannot use touch gestures to display the Hardware Configuration screen. To be able to display Hardware Configuration while in this state, draw a Hardware Configuration object on a screen or content. Without the ability to display the Hardware Configuration screen, you may not be able to run Ethernet transfer.
  (To run Ethernet transfer, operations are required on both the screen editing software and Hardware Configuration screen.)

- The [Display Hardware Configuration] and [Security Level] settings apply when using touch gestures to display the Hardware Configuration screen. These settings do not apply to Hardware Configuration objects on a screen.

- Locate the [Security Level] and [Display Hardware Configuration] settings as follows.

1. 1. In the Project Explorer window, from [System Architecture] click [Target01].

   2. In the Properties window, go to [Function] tab ➞ [Options] tab ➞ [Preference].
      Target Settings
