| Drag and drop appCUE to the Configuration as well as any other CUEunit. |  |
| Insert any controller or panel to project resources and drag and drop controller to the Configuration. Every project with appCUE must include minimal one CUEunit. This CUEunit (AL server) stores XPL2 applications and licences, which can be downloaded to devices running appCUE.<br>![image](media://7bb0e2da-ccb5-4844-ad1a-bd5ff422f485) |  |
