Hi,
I'm trying to use Control Expert V16.0 to open a .sta file program for an M340 in my PC. When I open the file, I get the following warning:
What is the cause of this warning? How do I fix it?

Hi,
The message "The hardware catalog which was used to produce the application was not the same as the installed one" is a warning, not an error.
Each version of Unity/Control Expert comes with its own hardware catalogue, and this is also installed along with the installation of the control expert process.
This catalog is used when you configure the controller or DTMs in the project.
So, if you export this CE project and use it on another machine which has different version of the catalogues, this warning will appear.
To avoid this, you need to match the hardware catalogues in both machines or install the same version of CE.
