 Using
the Tag Explorer
Profile Management
A profile holds all your charts and settings, as well as captured data.
Profiles are, thus, a central concept in Tag Explorer.
Besides keeping information on charts, tags and data, a profile also
holds some profile-global settings. You can configure these via the
Profile Settings dialog, accessible via the Profile -> General
Settings menu entry. In this dialog, you can configure whether data
should be captured from a local server of through a remote server via
network. There are also alarm settings, which are described in the
Alarm Management section.
The profile management toolbar lets you to create,
save or load server profiles easily.
Profile Management Toolbar
Using it, you can:
 |
New Profile: Creates
a new chart profile from scratch. |
|
Load Profile: Loads a
previously saved profile to the screen. |
|
Save Profile: Saves the
current chart configuration to a file.
|
The profile is saved to
a .XRC file whose name and path you can choose, plus additional
.DAT files containing the captured data. One .DAT file per chart
is created, and the name of those files is derived from the chosen
profile name by appending a numeric identifier.
