Managing Names Files
You can save names that you have created, edited, or imported for later use by
saving them into a names file. When you create, edit, or import names, the
protocol analyzer starts using those names immediately. You can save the names
to a
names file
to prevent changing them in future LonScanner sessions or to
share them with other channels. You can also backup the names file for
safekeeping, and you can copy the names file to another computer that has the
LonScanner software installed so that you can interpret names within a packet
log on the second computer.
To manually save the names into a names file, select Names → Save Copy to
open the Save File dialog, from which you can select the file name and directory
for the names file. After you save the names file, you can back it up, copy it to
another computer, or import it for use in future LonScanner sessions, as
described in
Importing Names from a Local Names File
