Database Item View Window
Each record in a PID Database has several fields, which can be viewed in the Database Item View window. To
access the window either:
(a) click the Edit Database Record tool (see page 5-12), or
(b) double-click the desired PID record in the Network Identifier Database list (see page 5-7).
For each record, two views are accessible from the tabs at the top of the window; these are: Detailed View and
Summary View. Since these are two different ways of viewing the same information, changing field values in one
view will change related field valus in the other view.
Detailed View Summary View
The fields in the Summary View are identical to those in the DBK70Config program (PidPRO’s predecessor). This
view is primarily for users migrating from that software. However, the Detailed View provides an easier interface
to the fields and provides several automatic calculation features so that offsets and scales do not need to be
developed manually.
* No field associated means that there is no one directly associated field between Detailed View and Summary View
for a given parameter.
