Spreadsheet Declaration

The spreadsheet declaration is required, and is written at the beginning of the spreadsheet. Certain
parts of the declaration will have already been written in the exported current spreadsheet. If the
declaration line is incorrect, an error occurs and the spreadsheet file will be rejected.

NOTE:

The spreadsheet declaration line is not case-sensitive.

Function Tags

Before you write the settings, you need to state the function of the parameter. This is called a
function tag, which is formatted as a string in brackets ([ ]). The type and order of the function tag
are determined by the program product. Function tags have the following characteristics:

At least one function tag is required in a spreadsheet.

The function tag must be written at the very beginning of the row.

If a function tag is already on the current spreadsheet and does not need to be changed, it
must be deleted from the new spreadsheet so it is not processed. If the function tag remains
in the spreadsheet, and no new settings for the tag are written, the settings are processed as
deleted. [CHA], [Port] and [LDEV] tags do not support a delete operation, so if no new setting
is written for these functions an error occurs.

Any other comments and settings written in the same row as the function tag are ignored.
