Device configuration file path:

This text box is used to specify the path of the XML configuration file to be used by the interface. If there are spaces in the path, then the path and file name must be enclosed in double quotation marks in the batch file not in the GUI.

Example: /xml="C:\Program Files\pipc\interfaces\pidnp3\PIDNP3.xml"

Use the browse button to choose an existing XML Configuration file or enter a file name in the dialog box presented after clicking the browse button. To create a new empty XML Configuration file, point to the location where you wish to store the file. By default the location will be the same location as the executable. In the figure below a new file is being created by the entry MyNewXMLFile.xml in the File name box. Any file may be selected by clicking it:

1. Click Open to create the new file or open an existing one.

   

2. The figure below shows the window appearance if a new filename is entered instead of picking an existing file. If an existing file is chosen, the box on the left will show under Session anyIO Groups or RTUs already configured in that .XML file.
