Exporting and importing inputs/outputs and messages
Through the exporting and importing of attributes you have the option of exporting information
on parameters, signals and messages to a file, processing it with standard applications and
inputting it (importing it) again.
Note
Filters are ignored during import/export. All data are always exported when they are displayed
in the current view without filter.
These functions are particularly beneficial if you want to edit large amounts of data. You do
not need to open the individual charts with the CFC editor in order to edit the I/Os, as the I/Os
of all charts in the hierarchy folders are imported automatically.
Charts located in the selected hierarchy folder and all lower-level hierarchy folders are edited
(in accordance with the selection made in the process object view).
