Tree View (1/2)
Datasets, Types, and Instances

The tree is used to select a dataset, a type, or an instance.
• The dataset tree shows a list of the available datasets. The datasets can be clicked to load the
corresponding job list into the working area.
• The type tree and the instance overview tree show a list of types and instances sorted by name.
Visual indicators, such as, lines and indents illustrate relationships between entries and distinct
levels. Each tree entry represents a type or an instance and can be clicked to open the Type Editor
or an Instance Editor in the working area.
Context Menu of the Tree

The context menu of the tree is a content-sensitive menu associated with tree entries. It is displayed on
demand (when the right mouse button is clicked) and is used to invoke operations that apply to a
selected dataset, type, or instance.

General Editor Features

An editor provides the following general features:
• Internal attributes are read only.
• Read-only cells have a shaded background.
• The Cell Editor for an attribute depends on the attribute data type. If the attribute is
defined with an enumeration type, the cell provides a list box. Otherwise it
provides a text editor, a number editor, or a date/time editor for the different
formats in the data model.
• References can be edited with Drag and Drop from an instance tree.
• The editors provide context menus depending on the clicked area.

Both are XML formats.
The Import dialog is accessed by selecting the

menu item Import from the File menu.

Page 44
Export Dialog
The Export dialog provides tools to create an Export Dialog for Instance Data
ASCII file of data definitions of a selected type or
instance data in a defined file format.

menu for a certain entry in the tree and clicking the
menu item Export. Export Dialog for Type Data

Page 45
Instance Search Dialog
The Instance Search dialog provides tools that Instance Search Dialog
allow you to search for specific instances.
The Instance Search dialog is accessed either by

clicking Search on the Edit menu or by clicking the
appropriate toolbar button.
The Instance Search dialog provides two tabs for

specifying the type of the search:
• Instance Search
• TA (Technological Address) Search TA Search Dialog
The entries of the search result list can be

You can invoke the Instance Creation Dialog in the

following ways:
• Selecting an instance in the instance tree and
clicking New Instance on the Insert menu.
• Right-clicking an instance in the instance tree
and clicking the menu item New in the context
menu of the tree.

Page 50
Table Editor
The Table Editor is used to view all subordinated

instances and their associated attributes of a
selected instance at a glance.
These data are presented as a table.
Attribute modifications can be performed
immediately by changing the table cell contents.
The Table Editor is used to:

• Display and modify child instances of the
selected instance.
• Create new instances in the hierarchy directly
under the selected instance.
The Table Editor is invoked by selecting the menu

item View > Instance Editors > Table View or
clicking the appropriate toolbar button.

Page 51
Bulk-Instance Editor (1/3)
Instead of editing single instances in the Single-

Instance Editor, the Bulk-Instance Editor allows
you to view and modify a set of existing instances
(including links) that are directly underneath a
selected parent instance in a table view.
The Bulk-Instance Editor allows you to define

queries and to load saved queries for reuse. The
results of the query can then be modified in a
tabular list.
The Bulk-Instance Editor is invoked by selecting

the menu item View > Instance Editors > Bulk
Editor or clicking the appropriate toolbar button.

Page 52
Query Designer Section
The Query Designer Table is used to define a query.

Each line represents one search criterion and consists of:
• A check box that is used to filter whether the respective attribute or link shall be
displayed in the result table.
• An arrow field to visibly differentiate the direction of a link (link to or link from).
Attributes display an empty arrow field.
• The name of the attribute or link.
• A text box containing the search criterion.
• A text box for entering a value for the search criterion.

Page 53
Result Table Section
The Result Table Section of the Bulk-Instance editor provides a list of all instances
conforming to the query criteria defined in the Query Designer Section.
Each row of this table represents one instance. All attributes and associations of an
instance defined in the query are displayed in this row. The data in this table can be
modified by clicking the desired cell and entering a new value, selecting a value from
a list box, or by setting a check box.

Page 54
Curve Editor
The Curve Definition Editor allows you to view, create or modify analog value
characteristics.
An analog value’s characteristic is a mathematical model representing the

characteristics of the devices involved in the process of converting raw values into
engineering values.
The Curve Definition Editor opens automatically if an instance of a derived type from
the type curve (for example, cfeCharacteristicCurve) is selected in the instance tree.
