DPT configuration panel
Select a data point type that has been created from scratch and click on the Configure button in the AC configuration panel:
AC data point types created from scratch are configured in this panel. The following buttons are provided in this panel:
-
New level
Creates a new compression level and opens the configuration panel for setting the parameters for this level.
-
Delete level
This deletes a compression level. You can only ever delete the last level since the earlier levels may act as a source for other levels. You are prompted to confirm the deletion.
-
Structure
Displays the data point structure in a window.
-
Configure
This button (or double-clicking on a row) opens the AC type configuration panel (see also New level).
-
Create DP
Opens another panel where you can create a data point name for the data point type in question. After creating a data point, the parameter settings are immediately assigned to this data point and you have to click on the button ==> DPEs for the delays for statistical functions to be calculated newly.
-
Exceptions
Opens another panel where you can specify the data points that are not meant to adopt the parameter settings.
-
Delete DP
Opens another panel where you can specify the data point for deletion.
-
==> DPEs
Transfers all parameter settings to all data points and all type references of the data point type. The associated archive processes must be running, otherwise an error message appears.
-
Help
Opens this page of the Online Help.
-
Save
Saves the parameter settings for the data point type and creates the sample data point _mp_typename.
-
Close
This closes your configuration process.
