5.4.5 Importing and exporting databases

As an alternative to defining every Logic Memory tag individually, you can import

a pre-made tag database into PointeControl from an external file. You can also

export a existing project’s Logic Memory tables to an external database file for

backup or future use.

Database File Format

To import a database into a project, you must first format the database as a

delimited text file. PointeControl recognizes three types of text files for

import/export:

 *.txt – Fields delimited by tabs.

 *.prn - Fields delimited by spaces.

 *.csv - Fields delimited by commas.

WARNING: Attempts to import other, non-supported file types – particularly

those that contain non-ASCII characters – can compromise the PointeControl

system.

Each line in the text file should describe a single Input/Memory/Output tag,

String, or Timer. The format of the line varies according to the type of variable

being described, as explained in the table below. Note that in the Format column,

the dash (—) represents a delimiter. Be sure to use the delimiter appropriate to

the file type.
