Work with the Digitals tab

Use the RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) Composer to review digital telemetry points associated with a remote and to modify the Model Tags. For information on how to generate a list of remotes, refer to Create a simulation configuration file.

To review digital telemetry points

1. From the Available pane, select the icon for each remote you wish to include.

   The remotes move from the Available pane to the Selected pane.

   

2. Select the Digitals tab.

   The Digitals view appears.

   

3. Optional: In the Filter, enter your desired parameters to narrow the list.

   The list of digital telemetry points automatically updates.

4. Optional: To sort the columns by ascending or descending order, select the column to change the order.

   Note: The default for the column order is set to ascending.

5. Optional: In the Model Tags column, double-click to enter a list of Model Tag values separated by commas. Each value in the list represents the Model Tag for the corresponding Bit.

   Note: The gray Model Tags indicate derivation by implicit naming rules. Any manual entry will override an implicit naming rule and mark the Model Tags as explicit (indicated by black font). For more information, refer to the Tools Developer documentation.

   • To revert changes while editing a Model Tag, press Esc.

   • To commit the change and mark the Model Tags as explicit, press Enter or move to another cell.

6. To save, hover over the icon, and select the icon.
