For in depth details, please refer to the UPLC™ Installation Guide provided with the unit.

General File Format

Here is an example of a configuration file down-
loaded from the UPLC™. This is an XML file. The
file can be checked with any common XML tools to
see if it conforms to XML format rules. It can be
edited in any standard text-editing program, howev-
er you must be certain not to change any of the
XML required format. If you are going to edit the
file in a text editor it is important that you under-
stand the format requirements of an XML file.
The file has a main section <UPLC™>, also called
the 'root node'. The main section encompasses
three major sub-sections;
<genset> - General Settings
<logset> - Logic Settings
<ioset> - Input/Output Settings
The Inputs/Outputs settings also has a three minor
sub-sections;
<inputs> - Inputs
<tdoutputs> - Trip Duty Outputs
<lloutputs> - Low Level Outputs
These sections encompass the entire configuration
for the UPLC™. Typically this file should be sys-
tem generated to avoid any typographic and syntax
errors. Rather than starting from scratch, it's easier
to download from the UPLC™ and create a config-
uration file first, then edit that before uploading it
back to the UPLC™. After uploading you should
review the changes on the settings pages to ensure
they're correct before locking them in by submit-
ting. The XML configuration file can be loaded into
any text editor and the data can be changed. We rec-
ommend you familiarize yourself with the nuances
of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML Files),
prior to attempting any changes to the data in the
file. Be careful not to change any file formatting or
the file will not load properly.
NOTE
Following, is an example of the downloaded XML
file. The data in the example file is shown in bold
for instructional purposes only.
NOTE: It will not and should not be in bold in the
downloaded or uploaded file.
