Spreadsheet Mode

This window displays a list of all the point numbers of a selected point type. The user is able to

add, configure, and edit points. The user is able to select and enter the parameters for each

point or group of points. The user can also export/import files and control the selection of

displayed parameters.

Compare this window to the Edit Point window (see Figure 7-7 on page 70). The two windows

contain the same parameters. In the spreadsheet mode, the user is able to view and modify all

the points of the selected type. In the Edit Point window, the user steps through a window for

each point number using the Next and Previous push-buttons.

The left two columns, D and U are used to download and upload, respectively, the information

found in the corresponding row(s). The third column lists the point numbers. The Spreadsheet

Mode menu bar contains menus used to perform various functions to one or more points. Each

of the Spreadsheet Mode menus is described below.

The Point Menu

This menu contains the same menu options found in the main window’s menu bar. Refer to The

Point Menu section for a description of the menu options.
