The Edit Menu

The commands that appear in the Edit menu are for creating and modifying driver configuration files. These commands correspond with the buttons on the Power Tool’s Configuration Toolbar.

Add Server

Displays a dialog box that lists all valid OPC servers available to your computer. By selecting an OPC server from the list, you can add it to the driver. The Power Tool obtains the OPC server list from the registry where the I/O server is running. Consequently, if you are trying to connect to a remote server, you must register the I/O server on both the local and remote nodes.

Add Group

Adds a new group to the selected OPC server.

Add Item

Adds a new item to the selected group.

Add Multiple Items

Displays a server browser that allows you to select multiple items to add to the selected group.

Add Item to iFix Database

Opens the Database Tag dialog box that allows you to add the selected item to the iFIX Process Database.

Delete

Deletes the server, group, or item currently selected in the Tree Browser. When you delete an object, all of its associated objects are deleted. For example, If you delete a server, all groups and items are deleted for that server.

Find

Displays a dialog box that allows you to locate a server, group, or item listed in the Tree Browser.

Sort

Sorts the Tree Browser list in ascending alphabetical order.
