The data editor is the basic component for creating of the database which is used for communication.
The data editor window contains two main parts
- tree view
- datapoint table.

Datapoint table
In the right pane, there are data points properties (e.g. last update time, actual value, description, alarm and history settings, communication properties, etc.) The left pane contains tree structure which makes easy to sort datapoints and assign them to technological groups and locations.

The system is configured by defining and editing communication channels (serial lines, remote RS232 over Ethernet ports, OPC, etc.) and data points. Various editing finctions are available for copying, moving, inserting and deleting of datapoints incl. group functions which allow to change a parameter of more datapoints at the same time (e.g. meter address of all the read data).

Within a datapoint, recalculation of measured to actual value can be made, as well as alarm limits and unit assignment. This is also where communication parameters are set. The communication parameters vary according to the driver used and contain e.g.
- station address
- datapoint type (analogue, digital, time…)
- register to read
- type and properties of the datapoint.
