Create Device Profiles tab
The Create Device Profiles tab displays all of the tags that are included in each device type profile. It is the starting point for creating/editing device profiles for individual devices. Most of the data on this screen displays for information only; however, to enable waveforms, you need to check the Waveform box (see Enable Waveforms for more information).
The following table describes the fields on this tab. The tags listed assume that Advanced Properties has been checked. Not all elements appear on every sub-tab. Detailed instructions are after the table.
