Importing and exporting points
Files consisting of Input, Output, Triggered, and Tank point information can be
imported and exported. FuelsManager also enables the user to import manual
values, calculated values, forced values, strap tables, and source assignments.
This feature has been provided so that the user can create an Input, Output
Triggered, or Tank point using external applications such as Excel or Notepad. Not
only can this method save time involved in initial configuration, but it can also be
used as a backup utility or a method for making bulk changes to the configuration.
Creating a *.csv file involves entering the column headers and entering the
associated point parameters. These files can only exist as comma delimited files
(*.csv).
The parameters found in the file vary based on the type of data exported. The file
types are described in the following table:
