4.4.3. CSV Point List Import / Export
A new RTU and point list may also be imported from text les. The le format used is CSV (comma-
delimited values), a text-viewable format interchangeable with Excel and other applications. In
some regions, characters other than comma are used as delimiters and are also supported.
A simple example of the le format looks like this (as viewed in Notepad):
Name,Protocol,Id,PointName,PointType,PointId
Conitel,Conitel 2020,5,,AI,0
Conitel,Conitel 2020,5,,AI,1
In Excel, this same le appears as:
Name Protocol Id PointName PointType PointId
Conitel Conitel 2020 5 AI 0
Conitel Conitel 2020 5 AI 1
In the above example, the RTU name is ‘Conitel’, the Protocol is ‘Conitel 2020’, and the RTU Id is
5. Each line denes a point of type ‘AI’; the rst with a point Id of 0 and the second is 1. Note that
no point names are provided, but the delimiting commas are still required to maintain positioning
order with the header description in the rst line.
Other point elds may be provided, but the minimum requirement is for PointType and PointId to
be provided with a header line and at least one data point. The minimum data is therefore:
PointType,PointId
AI,0
During import, the user is prompted for additional information necessary to create the RTU: RTU
Name, Protocol and RTU Id.
