automatically imported as tags into BridgeVIEW and are now
accessible through the BridgeVIEW real-time database. Do not worry
if you get a message that no tags were created for the network modules
in your system, as they do not have any I/O Items.
7. You can edit the tags to change their names, scaling information,
and other parameters.
Refer to your BridgeVIEW documentation for more information about
tags and their configuration.
8. When you have finished editing the tags (or if you chose to keep the
default settings for the tags), exit the Tag Configuration Editor and
save the changes to the configuration file.
You can now access the FieldPoint I/O Items by reading or writing these
tags as you would any other tag in BridgeVIEW.
