Importing Point Lists
To import a new RTU and its points from a CSV le, select Import from the File menu and choose
CSV Point List from the sub-menu.
An Open File dialog box will appear. Choose a directory and lename and press the ‘Open’
button to begin the import. During import processing, the user is prompted to conrm the RTU
Name, Protocol and RTU Id. If any information is missing, it must be provided before continuing.
Duplicate RTU names are not allowed. Press ‘OK’ to proceed with importing.
After a successful import, the RTU is added to the Current RTU List and its points are displayed in
the lower grid. An imported RTU is not automatically set to Active. To activate the imported RTU,
use the ‘CongureRTUs…’ wizard. Another import may be started by pressing the ‘Import’
button.
If the import is not successful, the import le contents and detailed information on the import
attempt may be viewed. Correct any issues agged with ‘***’ and retry the import.
Exporting Point Lists
Users may also export an existing RTU and its points to a CSV le for viewing and editing in
Excel. Since all supported columns are written out, the export feature is helpful in creating a
template for one or more new RTU Point Lists. To access the Export feature, select Export from
the File menu and choose CSV Point List from the sub-menu.
The Export dialog box will appear. Select one of the RTU from the Current RTU List. All dened
RTU are displayed in the list whether Active or not. When the RTU is selected, its point list is
displayed in the grid below. All elds are read-only. To make changes to the RTU before export,
close this dialog and use the ‘CongureRTUs…’ wizard. To export the point list data press the
‘Export’ button to choose a directory and lename. Press the ‘Save’ button to write the CSV le.

Quick-Start instructions for protocol specic information is contained in individual protocol specic
sections. These sections can be located by performing a search on the string “quick-start” (omit
the quotes). Perform the required protocol specic conguration then proceed with Conguration
of Communication Settings.
4.6. CongurationofCommunicationSettings
With the physical connection between the test set PC and the communication circuit established,
the ASE2000 software running, and the Operational Mode established, the next step is to set
the communication parameters to reect the physical properties of the connection. The next
sections describe the procedures for setting parameters for serial data communication and for
network connections.
4.6.1. Communication Settings for Serial Data Communication
Conguration of communication settings for serial data utilizes the Properties display and Comm
tab. From the main task bar, select “Tools > Properties > Comm tab”.
