Class-based module

This example shows how to use Bulk Edit to configure copies of a class-based module. This example module consists of an Analog Input function block and a Calculation function block. The module's output is temperature both in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. The example starts with creating one class-based module and proceeds through creating a template from the class, then exporting, editing, and importing of data. Note that successful import and export of a class-based module requires that you create a module template that the import/export format file can reference. The module template and the module must have the same SubType (as defined in the module and template Properties dialogs) and this SubType field must be the name of the module template. Following the steps in the example ensures this. The tasks covered in the example are:

1. Create the class.

2. Save the class both as a template and a module.

3. Create a format specification.

4. Export the module.

5. Create new modules using Bulk Edit.

6. Import the new modules.
