Importing and exporting points
ADM003GVAE1005 143
The Input, Output, Triggered, and Tank point data types add points to the
database. The other data types are reference values assigned to the existing
points in the database. For example, the Manual Values data type file assigns
manual values. The import function finds that particular database point and
variable, and then assigns the manual value.
Note! Before performing the tasks
to import or export points, the
default value (i.e. 123,456,789) in
the Digit Grouping field needs to
be changed to (123456789) on the
Customize Regional Options -
Numbers tab. After completing the
Export and Import functions,
change the Digit Grouping field
back to its default value (i.e.
123,456,789)
