14) Delete settings: Delete existing configuration files in the HMI, such as parameter configuration files, protocol configuration files, and so on;

15) HMI version: Click it to check connected HMI firmware version;

16) Machine code: Click it to check connected HMI machine ID;

Operation procedure of download by USB or serial port
