SCL export

SCL export lets you export IID files (previously imported from an SCL file). The IID file can then be imported into other instances of the Profile Editor.

This process does not correct any issues in the files. If the imported file was an IID file from a different instance of the Profile Editor, it will contain the same configuration and communication information as the original. If the imported file was a Gateway SCL file with multiple devices, you can export each device as a separate IID file (the configuration and communication information is taken directly from the Gateway SCL file).

The only way you can edit these files are:

  • You can delete data sets, and then add new ones.
  • You can edit report control blocks (buffered or unbuffered).

Perform these edits in the device profile before you export, and they will be exported to the IID file.

Exporting the file

To export IID files:

  1. From the Set Up Projects tab, select the project from which you want to export. (The project must have devices that include ICD files.)
  2. Click File > Export > SCL Export.

    3. The export(s) that you select display beneath the Export Project button, on the right side of the screen.

  3. Click Export Project.

The Export Summary displays with the results of the export. When the export displays under the Success topic, the listed files were exported. When the export displays under the Warnings topic, the reason that the export did not succeed is listed for the device types shown.

The exported files, listed according to their device types, will be saved in:
