Import/Export
This chapter provides ProcessLinx TagMap import/export examples. Using
the Import/Export functions, you can edit configurations via text based,
comma-separated-value (CSV) files such as the ProcessLinx configuration
which is stored in a binary file.
A ProcessLinx configuration can be imported into a new or an existing file.
