The DeltaV Explorer enables you to select objects at several levels in the Explorer hierarchy for exporting. You can export nodes, a module, the entire control network, or the entire configuration system. The Export command converts the database data for the object you select into an ASCII file with an .fhx extension. This file includes the data for the selected object and everything beneath it. To back up an entire database, use the Backup Database administrator tool.
Do not edit the ASCII text export files. Editing these files can cause later problems in your database.
