Conversion Notes The objective of the Conversion process is to help migrate P360-P370-P460-P470 MCL V2 applications to MT2070 and or MT2090. The conversion process is from native MCL-Designer V2 projects to native MCL-Designer V3 projects. MCL-Designer for Phaser V2 Project source is required. With very little effort, the converted V2 Project can be adapted in order to take advantage of the larger MT2070 screen.
