4.9 Data points
Arranging and copying objects
As with many other programs in the data point or message editor you can also arrange the
columns, sort the table according to your requirements and copy and insert objects.
● Arrange columns
If you click on a column header with the left mouse button pressed, you can move the
column.
● Sorting objects
If you click briefly with the left mouse button on a column header, you can sort the objects
of the table in ascending or descending order according to the entries in this column. The
sorting is indicated by an arrow in the column header.
After sorting in descending order of a column the sorting can be turned off by clicking on
the column header again.
● Adapting the column width
You call this function using the shortcut menu that opens when you click on a column
header with the right mouse key.
● Showing / hiding columns
You call this function using the shortcut menu that opens when you click on a column
header with the right mouse key.
● Copying, pasting, cutting and deleting objects
If you click in a parameter box of an object in the table with the right mouse key, you can
use the functions named with the shortcut menu (copy, paste, cut, delete).
You can paste cut or copied objects within the table or in the first free row below the
table.
Exporting and importing data points
To simplify the engineering of larger plants, you can export the data points of a configured
CP and import them into other CPs in the project. This is an advantage particularly in
projects with many identical or similar stations or data point CPs.
The export / import function is available when you select the CP for example in the network
or device view and select the relevant shortcut menu.
Figure 4-4
When it is exported the data point information of a CP is stored in one CSV file.
