Creating Database Items: Factories, Machines, Points,
Entries and Routes
The Database Explorer displays the structure of the
Database on the top half. The view can be expanded and
condensed by clicking on the triangle controls to show or
hide the items contained in the element.
For example, a Factory can contain several machines, and
each machine can contain several measurement Points.
Clicking the triangle next to the Machine displays or hides
the Points. This helps in managing a database that
includes a large number of items.
